The Welfare Contract And Critical Case Management
JOURNAL OF POVERTY(2008)
摘要
Drawing on three years of ethnographic research on the decision making processes of welfare case managers in urban Kentucky, we focus here on a group of case managers who subvert the demands placed on them by neoliberal welfare policy. These women refer to their own experiences as low-income, single parents to reconceptualize notions of the "un/deserving" poor, the welfare contract, and what it means to be "self-sufficient." Case manager resistance and moral constructs are instructional, making explicit the dehumanizing aspects of the system and valuing a rights-based discourse which recognizes the state's obligation to ensure the welfare of all citizens.
