This anniversary edition includes Michael Harrington's essays on poverty in the 1970s and '80s as well as a new introduction by Harrington's biographer, Maurice Isserman. This illuminating, profoundly moving classic is still all too relevant for today's America.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Michael Harrington's masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eThe Other America\u003c\/i\u003e, was first published in 1962, it was hailed as an explosive work and became a galvanizing force for the war on poverty. Harrington shed light on the lives of the poor--from farm to city--and the social forces that relegated them to their difficult situations. He was determined to make poverty in the United States visible and his observations and analyses have had a profound effect on our country, radically changing how we view the poor and the policies we employ to help them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Harrington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 068482678X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780684826783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/06\/2012 pg. 14","brand":"Michael Harrington","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050975555839,"sku":"9780684826783","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92d0ecf7-18a2-4d80-bf07-00f154934a32.jpg?v=1685010349","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-other-america-michael-harrington-9780684826783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
