Recenzii

“This is a wonderful account of the poverty wars of the 1960s as they unfolded in Mingo County, West Virginia.  Inspired (and funded) by the federal war on poverty, the presumably apathetic Appalachian poor mobilized with gusto.  And so did the challenged local power structure.  Read this book to learn about this moment of American history.”
Frances Fox Piven,  Professor Political Science and Sociology, City University of New York  and author of Poor People’s Movements: How They Succeed, Why They Fail
"Huey Perry's account of the War on Poverty in West Virginia is a classic.  Nothing I have read gives such an insider's account of both of the promise of LBJ's initiative, and the way this hope was largely subverted by state and local politicians and coal companies.  The book is, as well, a quirky, funny page-turner.  I was hugely indebted to this book while writing my novel The Unquiet Earth.  WVU Press is to be commended for keeping this important account available both to historians and the general public."
Denise Giardina, author Storming Heaven and The Unquiet Earth
Praise for the first edition:
“Perry’s story, told simply and without polemics, shows how hard it is to do something that seems simple—get funds into the hands of the poor.”
Edward Magnuson, Time magazine
“This book is one of those unexpected delights that comes along every once in a while, but not often enough.”
 New Republic
