by pnlc
Dr. Joe Soss' new book Disciplining the Poor: Neoliberal Paternalism and the Persistent Power of Race was featured in commentary by Star Tribune journalist Lori Sturdevant. In the article, Soss states "Our notions about who's deserving of help and who isn't are rooted in the notions about individual effort and individual success or failure."
Disciplining the Poor, co-authored with Richard C. Fording, and Sanford F. Schram and published in November by the University of Chicago Press, already has been called "a landmark book." Soss discussed it in The Society Pages; click here to listen to the podcast.
