Recenzii

'With threats to Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid on the horizon, Susan Stein-Roggenbuck explains why we all should care about a heteronormative family policy that has deprived dependent elders of dignity and financially burdened those who care for them out of love or obligation. Caring for Mom and Dad shows the limits of both social assistance and tax policy for welfare justice when federalism reinforces inequality.' Eileen Boris, co-author of Caring for America: Home Health Workers in the Shadow of the Welfare State
'In this extraordinarily insightful and carefully researched book, Susan Stein-Roggenbuck probes beneath the widespread acceptance of 'dependent' aged Americans to reveal deep disagreements about whom those Americans ought to depend on first: their family or the state. The conflicts and unstable resolutions that Stein-Roggenbuck documents have a compelling human dimension, but they also have much to teach us about the complex role of social welfare law and administration in American governance. In illuminating this important and understudied topic, Stein-Roggenbuck offers vital insights for both historians and for present-day policymakers.' Karen Tani, author of States of Dependency: Welfare, Rights, and American Governance, 1935–1972
