Under Attack, Fighting Back: Women and Welfare in the United States (Cornerstone Books): Discourse, Power and the Subject - Softcover
Synopsis
In such seminal works as Madness and Civilization, Discipline and Punish, and The History of Sexuality, the late philosopher Michel Foucault explored what our politics, our sexuality, our societal conventions, and our changing notions of truth told us about ourselves. In the process, Foucault garnered a reputation as one of the pre-eminent philosophers of the latter half of the twentieth century and has served as a primary influence on successive generations of philosophers and cultural critics. With A Foucault Primer, Alec McHoul and Wendy Grace bring Foucault's work into focus for the uninitiated. Written in crisp and concise prose, A Foucault Primer explicates three central concepts of Foucauldian theory-discourse, power, and the subject-and suggests that Foucault's work has much yet to contribute to contemporary debate.

Review
"A consistently clear, comprehensive and accessible introduction which carefully sifts Foucault's work for both its strengths and weaknesses. McHoul and Grace show an intimate familiarity with Foucault's writings and a lively, but critical engagement with the relevance of his work. A model primer." -Tony Bennett,author of Outside Literature
Synopsis
This work describes the assault on impoverished single mothers in the name of "ending welfare dependency". Outlining the history of the AFDC, starting with the 1935 Social Security Act, Abramovitz shows how the manipulation of gender, race and class have made welfare vulnerable to attack. This new edition brings the work up-to-date with analysis of developments in welfare "reform".
