"Praxis for the Poor" looks at the relationship of politics to scholarship through an examination of the work of Frances Fox Piven and Richard Cloward. Piven and Cloward proved that social science could inform social-policy politics in ways that helped energize a movement. "Praxis for the Poor" offers a critical reflection on their work and builds upon it, demonstrating how a more politically-engaged scholarship can contribute to the struggle for social justice. Aimed at political scientists, sociologists, social workers, social welfare activists, policy-makers, and anyone concerned with the plight of the poor and oppressed, "Praxis for the Poor" shows how social science can play a role in building a better future for social welfare.
