SOCI498 Annotated Bibliography American Public University System Joshua Araujo January 7 th , 2024

Topic For my final project this semester I would like to immerse my studies regarding poverty in the United States. Within this research I would like to present facts regarding poverty, the social impacts of poverty in the United States, the impact of poverty on children, why poverty in the United States is still prevalent and what can be fostered or adopted to lower poverty rates in the United States.

Sources 1. Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City Evicted immerses into the deep impact of eviction on poverty in American cities. Matthew Desmond conducts extensive research and immersive fieldwork aids in providing a unique narrative that explores the lives of low-income families struggling with housing instability. The book sheds light on the systemic issues, economic pressures, and legal challenges that contribute to the cycle of eviction, highlighting the dire consequences it has on individuals and communities. Desmond's work not only exposes the struggles faced by those on the margins but also shines a light to the broader issues of inequality within the housing market and the social structures that perpetuate poverty. Reference Desmond, M. (2016). Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City. Crown 2. Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race, and Family Life Unequal Childhoods examines how social class influences family life and shapes the opportunities available to children. Annette Lareau conducted vast research, comparing the parenting styles and strategies of families from different socio-economic backgrounds. The book explores the ways in which parenting practices contribute to and reflect social inequalities. Lareau argument is that middle- and working-class families have distinct child-rearing approaches, influencing children's experiences and prospects. By immersing within the

intricacies of family dynamics, the book provides valuable insights into the perpetuation of social class disparities across generations. Reference Lareau, A. (2003). Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race, and Family Life. University of California Press 3. Timing of Poverty in Childhood and Adolescent Health: Evidence from the US and UK Green et al. immerse in this peer reviewed article by eloquently displaying the direct result of poor health and how it contributed to the poor mental health of children and how that implicates society in a “broken window theory” template. The authors although conducting immersive research did leave unclear the definition of poverty in the United States and how poverty is viewed in the United Kingdom. Although the authors allowed this portion to self-interpretation, they do attempt to pinpoint the beginning of poverty and its collateral effects within society. Reference: Green, M., Stritzel, H., Smith, C., Popham, F., & Crosnoe, R. (2018). Timing of poverty in childhood and adolescent health: Evidence from the US and UK. Social Science & Medicine, 197, 136-143. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.socscimed.2017.12.004 4. Poverty in America: Why Can't We End It? This article brings to context why poverty is still in existence. Not only does the article aid in allowing us to understand why poverty is still in existence in the United States, it also displays

what attempts have been made to curb poverty. The article aids in the research by displaying the attempts that have succeeded and failed. Edelman does a beautiful job illustrating how certain points in history and politics poverty was enforced as well as when it could have been prevented or hindered from growing. One thing that must be acknowledged within the articles is that Edelmen appeared to have a bias while writing this piece. Although the information shown is valuable there is a clear bias. Reference Edelman, P. (2012). Poverty in America: Why Can't We End It?. Retrieved from https://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/29/opinion/sunday/why-cant-we-end-poverty-in- America.html 5. How Do Americans View Poverty? I chose this article due to Lauter attempting to bring an unbiased lens to poverty. This article will allow me to provide an intrinsic opinion of the people and their opinion regarding poverty. The unorthodox approach in comparison to my other articles entails polls and surveys conducted by a random sample of people with no bias towards them or their understanding of poverty. An example as to what Lauter was able to demonstrate is, white people tended to have a distrust for the American government while black and latinos would place a greater trust towards the American government and being able to provide a solution for poverty. For my research I will rely on this article due to its unbiased. Reference Lauter, D. (2012). How do Americans view poverty? Many blue-collar whites, key to Trump, criticize poor people as lazy and content to stay on welfare. Retrieved from
