Domestic Contradictions: Race And Gendered Citizenship From Reconstruction To Welfare Reform (Hardcover)

Priya Kandaswamy brings together two crucial moments in welfare history--the advent of the Freedmen's Bureau during Reconstruction and the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996--to show how they each targeted Black women through negative stereotyping and normative assumptions about gender, race, and citizenship.
