    • Dilemmas of Social Reform : Poverty And Community Action in the United States, Paperback by Marris, Peter; Rein, Martin, ISBN 0202302563, ISBN-13 9780202302560, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK

      First published in 1965, this work by Marris (emeritus, social planning, U. of California at Berkeley) and Rein (urban studies and planning, Massachusetts Institute of Technology) analyzes the evolution of anti- poverty community action programs initiated by the Ford Foundation Gray Area Programs and the President's Committee on Juvenile Delinquency. After setting the programs in the overall social and political contexts, the authors discuss the strategies of the programs in relation to bureaucratic inertia, rivalries among political and administrative jurisdictions, and other impediments to successful reform. For the newer 1973 edition, reprinted here in a paperbound edition, they added a brief outline of anti-poverty program events between 1965 and 1970. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
