State of Empowerment

Low-Income Families and the New Welfare State

Carolyn Barnes

Discover how after-school programs funded by the government can empower low-income families and enhance their civic and political lives. State of Empowerment, by Carolyn Barnes, shows how these programs offer more than just academic support, and have become powerful tools for parental engagement and involvement in the community. Through ethnographic accounts of three organizations, Barnes demonstrates how government funding can shift power away from bureaucrats and into the hands of those who need it most.
