Reviews
This is a splendid book. Lieberman writes with confidence and verve. He makes real analytic progress on such crucial topics as the development of the American welfare state, contemporary debates about welfare and--most important--the interplay between welfare policies and race politics...Lieberman deploys the institutional model with enormous sophistication. He shows how a thoughtful historical approach can deepen our understanding of both American politics and public policy., Shifting the Color Line is a giant leap forward in the analysis of American social policy, and will be recognized as an authoritative landmark for years to come. It is well-researched, well-written, and conceptually original and powerful. It will also be sure to excite controversy., A true understanding of welfare, Robert C. Lieberman argues in his provocative book, requires a hard look not at stereotypes but at history. Built into the early architecture of social welfare programs, are nasty political fights and rigged compromises over race and class. To make his point, Lieberman plays bureaucratic archeologist, unearthing and comparing the administrative structures of three social welfare programs: Old-Age Insurance, Aid to Dependent Children, and Unemployment Insurance... Shifting the Color Line is an enlightening look at America's failure to ask, without racist or political motives, how poor people can make progress...The book is an intense history course that bypasses decades of deceptive rhetoric to get to the core issues of the welfare debate., A true understanding of welfare, Robert C. Lieberman argues in his provocative book, requires a hard look not at stereotypes but at history. Built into the early architecture of social welfare programs, are nasty political fights and rigged compromises over race and class. To make his point, Lieberman plays bureaucratic archeologist, unearthing and comparing the administrative structures of three social welfare programs: Old-Age Insurance, Aid to Dependent Children, and Unemployment Insurance...Shifting the Color Line is an enlightening look at America's failure to ask, without racist or political motives, how poor people can make progress...The book is an intense history course that bypasses decades of deceptive rhetoric to get to the core issues of the welfare debate., Robert Lieberman sets out to explain a 'profound puzzle' in the complicated history of race and the American welfare state...Lieberman combines historical and statistical analysis to show how and why...Clearly this book addresses issues of central importance to historians of race and social policy, and it does so with the kind of tightly argued thesis that is sure to stimulate further discussion and debate...he leaves us with important insights and evidence to build on in understanding the crucial, institutional dimensions of racial inequality., Shifting the Color Line is one of the best studies of race and social policy that I have read. Lieberman's analysis of the role of race in the development of America's peculiar welfare state and, in turn, the role of the welfare state in reshaping the politics of race is a tour de force .
