Description
This illuminating, profoundly moving classic is still all too relevant for today's America. For the first time, this edition contains both of Michael Harrington's additional essays on poverty in the seventies and eighties as well as a new introduction by bestselling author Irving Howe. This powerful account draws on research by sociologists and economists to reveal the depth of the poverty crisis, analyzing why such invisible citizens as the elderly, children, and minorities are not given adequate opportunities. Originally published in 1962, Harrington's classic work on the plight of the poor in the midst of plenty remains all too relevant today.
