Reviews
"...enormously instructive." -- E.J. Hobsbawm, New York Review of Books "This beautifully written book is the most exciting and important political study in years." -- S. M. Miller, Department of Sociology, Boston University. "Of the first importance; it is bound to have a wide and various influence; and it is disturbing." -- Jack Beatty, The Nation
Synopsis
Have the poor fared best by participating in conventional electoral politics or by engaging in mass defiance and disruption? The authors of the classic Regulating The Poor assess the successes and failures of these two strategies as they examine, in this provocative study, four protest movements of lower-class groups in 20th century America: -- The mobilization of the unemployed during the Great Depression that gave rise to the Workers' Alliance of America -- The industrial strikes that resulted in the formation of the CIO -- The Southern Civil Rights Movement -- The movement of welfare recipients led by the National Welfare Rights Organization.

The seller came up with a workable solution and I will say I had a good experience.Reply from: oneplanetbooks- Feedback replied by seller oneplanetbooks.- Feedback replied by seller oneplanetbooks.We're very sorry for the inconvenience.
- s***n (408)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseJust as described, book was like new. Item shipped in a box, great!, however, the box was much bigger than the book with nothing to hold the book inside so it got banged around inside the box during shipping. Used boxes that fit better or packaging material.
- n***4 (76)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAmazing seller! One Planet Books provided me with the very best value on this new, high-quality book! It's a rare find at this quality & value -- PLUS, super fast shipping! I'm totally amazed that exceptional sellers like One Planet Books still exist who truly care about the customer. Even the box that the book was packaged in was sturdy & made just for books! My book arrived in perfectly new condition & appearance, fast delivery, all-in-all the best experience I could ever hope for!

- r***r (1)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseArrived sooner than predicted, packaged well and in decent condition. The cover and back cover are pretty beat up, but the inside is undamaged. Description was not totally accurate (for example, the page count was different--but it doesn't appear that any pages are missing), but for the price point, it can't be beat. I would definitely buy from this seller again.The Paralegal Professional (4th Edition) by Goldman, Thomas F. (#196447639550)
