Description: Moving to Opportunity : The Story of an American Experiment to Fight Ghetto Poverty, Paperback by Briggs, Xavier De Souza; Popkin, Susan J.; Goering, John, ISBN 0195392841, ISBN-13 9780195392845, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US Moving to Opportunity tackles one of Americas most enduring dilemmas: the great, unresolved question of how to overcome persistent ghetto poverty. Launched in 1994, the MTO program took a largely untested approach: helping families move from high-poverty, inner-city public housing to
low-poverty neighborhoods, some in the suburbs. Ths innovative methodology emphasizes the voices and choices of the programs participants but also rigorously analyzes the changing structures of regional opportunity and constraint that shaped the fortunes of those who "signed up." It shines a
light on the hopes, surprises, achievements, and limitations of a major social experiment. As the authors make clear, for all its ambition, MTO is a uniquely American experiment, and this book brings home its powerful lessons for policymakers and advocates, scholars, students, journalists, and all
who share a deep concern for opportunity and inequality in our country.
