Opis

In this groundbreaking work, Robert Lee Maril describes the nature of poverty in contemporary Oklahoma. Based on a four-year comprehensive study, Maril's work focuses on the lives of twelve families from 1995 to 1999. Relying on statistical analysis to sift fact from rumor about the poor and the reasons why they are poor, Maril defines the real cause of poverty: Oklahoma's reliance on low-wage labor.
