A People's War on Poverty: Urban Politics and Grassroots Activists in Houston
Wesley G. Phelps
Phelps investigates the on-the-ground implementation of President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty during the 1960s and 1970s and argues that the fluid interaction between federal policies, urban politics, and grassroots activists created a significant site of conflict over the meaning of American democracy.
