Acerca deste livro eletrónico
Soup Kitchens Rise examines the proliferation of charity feeding programs in U.S. cities by 1931 during the Great Depression, exploring the social, economic, and political implications of widespread poverty.
It highlights how the late 1920s, marked by speculative economic practices, led to a fragile economic foundation that crumbled after the 1929 stock market crash.
The book delves into the catalysts for the surge in urban charity feeding, the diverse actors involved in these programs, and the long-term consequences of relying on public relief and private charity during times of crisis.

The book delves into the catalysts for the surge in urban charity feeding, the diverse actors involved in these programs, and the long-term consequences of relying on public relief and private charity during times of crisis.
The book argues that the exponential growth of soup kitchens and similar initiatives represents a turning point in American social welfare history, revealing the inadequacy of existing systems before the New Deal.
By examining localized responses to the economic crisis, Soup Kitchens Rise provides a nuanced understanding of early relief efforts, from religious institutions to community groups.
It begins by setting the pre-Depression landscape of social welfare and proceeds to explore the emergence of feeding programs across various cities, culminating in an assessment of the social and political ramifications of this widespread charity, offering valuable insights into American history and social issues.
