Abstract

"There are places where history feels irrelevant, and America's inner cities are among them," acknowledges Michael Katz, in expressing the tensions between activism and scholarship. But this major historian of urban poverty realizes that the pain in these cities has its origins in the American past. To understand contemporary poverty, he looks particularly at an old attitude: because many nineteenth-century reformers traced extreme poverty to drink, laziness, and other forms of bad behavior, they tried to use public policy and philanthropy to improve the character of poor people, rather than to attack the structural causes of their misery. Showing how this misdiagnosis has afflicted today's welfare and educational systems, Katz draws on his own experiences to introduce each of four topics--the welfare state, the "underclass" debate, urban school reform, and the strategies of survival used by the urban poor. Uniquely informed by his personal involvement, each chapter also illustrates the interpretive power of history by focusing on a strand of social policy in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: social welfare from the poorhouse era through the New Deal, ideas about urban poverty from the undeserving poor to the "underclass," and the emergence of public education through the radical school reform movement now at work in Chicago. Why have American governments proved unable to redesign a welfare system that will satisfy anyone? Why has public policy proved unable to eradicate poverty and prevent the deterioration of major cities? What strategies have helped poor people survive the poverty endemic to urban history? How did urban schools become unresponsive bureaucracies that fail to educate most of their students? Are there fresh, constructive ways to think about welfare, poverty, and public education? Throughout the book Katz shows how interpretations of the past, grounded in analytic history, can free us of comforting myths and help us to reframe discussions of these great public issues.

Abstract

La igualdad consagrada en las constituciones políticas que han regido en México, desde la española de 1812 hasta la mexicana de 1917, idealizó e impuso un estilo de vida sobre realidades sociales que nuestra historiografía suele ignorar. Los barrios indígenas de la ciudad de México y sus pueblos aledaños sufrieron el embate de esas exigencias, pero de ese hecho y de la resistencia que ofrecieron poco o nada se dice públicamente. De ello se ocupa el presente estudio al recorrer la vida de comunidades -algunas desaparecidas ya, otras al límite de su existencia- que guardan memoria de una historia propia. La historia de la ciudad de México no puede limitarse al registro de la expansión de la mancha urbana. Tal es lo que este libro -elaborado sobre testimonios de primera mano- nos recuerda al hablar de los barrios y pueblos de indígenas que formaron las parcialidades de San Juan Tenochtitlan y Santiago Tlatelolco.

Abstract

"Ethnography by a political scientist focuses on how urban poor have changed their perceptions of the State, citizenship, class and gender relations, and democracy and have movilized radical social movements. Analysis includes historical and ethnographic components"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
