Governmental Retreat and the Politics of African-American Self-Reliant Development: Public Discourse and Social Policy.

Hayes, Floyd W., III

Journal of Black Studies, v22 n3 p331-48 Mar 1992

The recent public discussion of self-help within the African-American community is examined in light of the Reagan administration's rhetoric about reducing the federal government's role in providing social welfare. An alternative perspective is offered on African-American self-reliance in the postindustrial managerial society. (SLD)
