Quadagno, Jill (Professor of Sociology, Mildred and Claude Pepper Chair in Social Gerontology, Professor of Sociology, Mildred and Claude Pepper Chair in Social Gerontology, Florida State University)

She draws on extensive primary research to show how social programs became entwined with the civil rights movement and subsequently suffered by association at the hands of a white backlash.
