Title: A book to confirm your prejudice (whatever it happens to be)
Review: If you are inclined to believe that the welfare system denies poor women adequate resources to take care of themselves and their children, and the criminal justice system perpetuates the plight of poor men of color, this book will confirm that view.If you are included to believe that the women on welfare are lazy, stupid, immoral, and neglectful of their children, and that poor men of color end up in jail because they're lazy, stupid, and immoral, too, and that they neglect their children and abuse their women as a matter of course, than this book will confirm that view, too.If the authors could have found case studies with more nuance, more gray, that might really have made this book useful -- there is a lot of critical public policy being made these days around issues of poverty, crime, and inner-city education, and a book like this in approach, with different subjects, might have been able to influence a lot of decisionmakers.
