STORMING CAESARS PALACE(ISBN=9780807050316) 英文原版 下载 网盘 kindle mobi 115盘 pdf pdb rtf

　　In Storming Caesars Palace, historian Annelise Orleck tells

the compelling story of how a group of welfare mothers built one of

this country's most successful antipoverty programs. Declaring "We

can do it and do it better," these women proved that poor mothers

are the real experts on poverty. In 1972 they founded Operation

Life, which was responsible for many firsts for the poor in Las

Vegas-the first library, medical center, daycare center, job

training, and senior citizen housing. By the late 1970s, Operation

Life was bringing millions of dollars into the community. These

women became influential in Washington, DC-respected and listened

to by political heavyweights such as Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Ted

Kennedy, and Jimmy Carter. Though they lost their funding with the

country's move toward conservatism in the 1980s, their struggles

and phenomenal triumphs still stand as a critical lesson about what

can be achieved when those on welfare chart their own course.
