  • “Absolutely Sort of Normal”: the Common Origins of the War on Poverty at Home and Abroad, 1961-1965
    “ABSOLUTELY SORT OF NORMAL”: THE COMMON ORIGINS OF THE WAR ON POVERTY AT HOME AND ABROAD, 1961-1965 by DANIEL VICTOR AKSAMIT B.A., UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, 2005 M.A., KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY, 2009 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2014 Abstract Scholars identify the early 1960s as the moment when Americans rediscovered poverty – as the time when Presidents, policymakers, and the public shifted their attention away from celebrating the affluence of the 1950s and toward directly helping poor people within the culture of poverty through major federal programs such as the Peace Corps and Job Corps. This dissertation argues that this moment should not be viewed as a rediscovery of poverty by Americans. Rather, it should be viewed as a paradigm shift that conceptually unified the understanding of both foreign and domestic privation within the concept of a culture of poverty. A culture of poverty equally hindered poor people all around the world, resulting in widespread illiteracy in India and juvenile delinquency in Indianapolis. Policymakers defined poverty less by employment rate or location (rural poverty in Ghana versus inner-city poverty in New York) and more by the cultural values of the poor people (apathy toward change, disdain for education, lack of planning for the future, and desire for immediate gratification). In a sense, the poor person who lived in the Philippines and the one who lived in Philadelphia became one. They suffered from the same cultural limitations and could be helped through the same remedy.

First, my parents, the late William A. Foley and Miriam E. Foley, helped in so many ways, with encouragement, advice and financial assistance when we were starving graduate students, that the debt of gratitude is overwhelming. To my wife of 39 years, Mairin T. Foley, the debt is equal and even more significant. She not only typed this whole manuscript, but as well helped reproduce huge amounts of material, and further when I was unable due to other requirements to work on it, remained faithful to the cause and encouraging to the end, until completed.

  • Professional Turf Battles in the Planning of the Mobilization for Youth Project
    ONE Professional Turf Battles in the Planning of the Mobilization for Youth Project IRONIES OF URBAN REFORM SOCIAL PROBLEMS do not exist simply because bad social conditions abound. Powerful people decide what and—in many instances—who is a social prob- lem. In the absence of effective social movements by the socially oppressed, the determination of the existence, nature of, and proposed solutions to the social conditions they endure rest with society’s social policy–focused institutions and the elites who run them. In the late 1950s and early1960s private foundations and federal government agencies responded to profound demographic, social, and political changes that altered the landscape of American cities by initiat- ing urban reform programs that ostensibly addressed the problems of juvenile delinquency and poverty among low-income people of color. One of the earli- est and the best known of these was the Mobilization for Youth (MFY) project and at the center of that social policy response was the collision of two impor- tant national values; science and democracy. Whereas the production and application of scientific knowledge are organized through a hierarchy of professional expertise, the exercise of the classic, participatory ideal of democracy presumes effective mechanisms of direct mass-scale participation. This conundrum generated insightful ironies (i.e., outcomes “of events contrary to what was, or might have been expected”)1 regarding the use of social scientists and other elite professionals as agents of urban reform.
