Vol. 28, No. 1 (2001)
Essays in this issue address the Bush initiative on "faith-based" welfare programs. Long-time critics of U.S. welfare policies point to the dangers of mixing church and state in the funding and support of community-based services and look at the long-term consequences of devolution of welfare policy from the federal to state governments. Authors critique the ideological source of "compassionate conservatism" and examine current initiatives in terms of Republican electoral strategies and the labor market conditions of the New Economy. The "Multicultural Chronology" is a classroom resource that ties together past and present welfare policies.
