SOCIOLOGY • AMERICAN STUDIES

“Poverty and Power is the single most comprehensive exploration of structural

inequality I have ever read. Brilliantly conceived, clearly written, and exhaus-

tively documented, the book systematically excoriates our prevailing belief that

poverty and inequality result from individuals’ bad decisions or bad personal

attributes. Poverty and Power will quickly become the ‘go-to book’ in under-

graduate classes, graduate seminars, and (hopefully) policy debates. The man-

uscript is spectacular. Can’t wait to use the book in class”

—Rick Eckstein, Villanova University

“Edward Royce’s Poverty and Power provides a comprehensive look at the rea-

sons why poverty persists in the United States and why it is taken for granted

by many Americans. Royce’s compelling argument identifi es the cause of pov-

erty as rooted in inequalities in power and politics and shows the inadequacies

of individualistic, cultural, and human capital theories of poverty.”

—Ellen Reese, University of California, Riverside

Poverty and Power suggests that today’s poverty results from deep-rooted dis-

parities in income, wealth, and power. The rate and severity of poverty remain

high, because millions of Americans are trapped in low-wage jobs, inadequately

served by government policy, excluded from mainstream policy debates, and

victimized by discrimination and social exclusion.

EDWARD ROYCE is associate professor of sociology at Rollins College.
