This study charts the history of neighbourhood-based initiatives in the USA to illuminate the enduring dilemmas and contradictions in American governments' efforts to eradicate poverty. The author argues that these initiatives divert attention from broader social inequities.

Review

A tour de force. [Halpern] has been able to tell the story, expose the myths, explain the dilemmas, and interpret future directions-all in a modest, very readable style. This book is a scholarly analysis of social policy.
