Purchase options and add-ons

Persistant poverty has long been one of America's most pressing and intractable problems. According to some estimates, by 2003, almost twenty-five percent of the America's countries had per-capita incomes below one half the national average, high unemployment, low labour force participation rates, and a high dependency on government transfer payments - all measures of economic distress. An Atlas of Poverty in America shows how and where America's regional development patterns have become more uneven, and graphically illustrates the increasing number of communities falling behind the national economic average. Readers will be able to use this Atlas to see how major events and trends have impacted the scope and extent of American poverty in the past half-century:economic globalization, the rise of the sunbelt, decline of the welfare state, and the civil rights movement. Also includes 195 colour maps.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Poverty in America: One Nation, Pulling Apart 1960-2003 is an essential atlas which should be a part of any college-level collection strong in sociology or American history: it charts poverty in the U.S. from the Great Soceity ideas to modern times, offering dozens of color maps compiling the demographic dimensions of poverty across the country. The cd in the back allows readers to take advantage of comuterized mapping tools, while the atlas comes from a professor of geography at Penn State University."

--California Book Watch, August 2006

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read For Understanding Poverty in America
    Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2006
    This atlas is an eye-opener not only for those who know nothing about poverty, but also for those who believe that they know the topic well. Dr. Glasmeier's descriptive, illustrative, and detailed information about the characteristics and spatial manifestation of poverty is profound and useful to any educator or policymaker. The organization of the atlas, divided into sections on the lived experiences of the poor, the history of poverty, distressed regions, and the history of poverty policy makes the existence and persistence of poverty in the United States easy to comprehend. If you want to know who the poor are in America, where they live, why they are poor, and why policy has failed to eradicate the problem--this atlas is a must read!

    5.0 out of 5 stars about the world being flat....
    Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2006
    Despite all the stuff about the world growing closer economically, you can see here that in a real sense this nation is splitting further apart. The data in this book is essential to understanding not only the nation's economy, but also its culture and politics. In a few years, regional inequality will be as important in policy debates as individual income inequality. Learn about this phenomenon first with this book.
