Who's Afraid of Frances Fox Piven?

More about the book

Frances Fox Piven, a prominent sociologist and political scientist, faces intense scrutiny and misrepresentation, particularly from Glenn Beck, who attributes various societal issues to her theories. This book serves as a counter-narrative, clarifying Piven's actual contributions to welfare rights, voting habits, and progressive reform movements. It highlights her advocacy for the poor and voting rights, providing a thoughtful examination of her ideas amidst the backlash. This work is both a corrective to right-wing rhetoric and a source of inspiration for those seeking progressive change.
