| Zusammenfassung: | "In the late 1980s and early 1990s, US policymakers racialized poor Black women as "welfare queens" who did not deserve but also exploited social welfare. During recent local and national political campaigns in Brazil and the United States-specifically the 2020 elections in both countries-politicians, journalists, and activists discussed the importance of Black women voters as a voting bloc yet rarely specifically discussed poor Black women. The elision of poor Black women constitutes a longstanding tradition in both countries, two of the world's largest countries with slaveholding pasts. When poor Black women are made visible, they appear as crude, reductive stereotypes. In The Politics of Survival, Gladys Mitchell-Walthour brings Black women social welfare beneficiaries into current political conversations whose policy outcomes will affect their lives. The book considers the following questions: How do these Black women act as political subjects through the politics of survival in former slaveholding countries that make survival difficult? How do they engage in formal politics such as voting? Beyond voting, what are their opinions of social welfare policies and political candidates? How do they negotiate societal perceptions of social welfare beneficiaries? Moreover, given their marginalized positions as low-income Afro-descendant women, how do they perceive racial, gender, and class discrimination? Mitchell-Walthour considers the simultaneous impact of institutional racism, sexism, and classism on women who often live in households with dependent children and elderly parents, while also being unemployed or underemployed. She critiques neoliberal paternalism as a solution and intervenes by considering the social locations, opinions, and lives of poor Black women in order to demonstrate how they have to survive, providing a bottom up perspective"-- |

The politics of survival -- Perceptions of social welfare beneficiaries and support of social welfare programs -- Perceptions of gender and racial discrimination -- Political knowledge, preferences of Black women social welfare beneficiaries and presidential (dis)approval. "In the late 1980s and early 1990s, US policymakers racialized poor Black women as "welfare queens" who did not deserve but also exploited social welfare. During recent local and national political campaigns in Brazil and the United States-specifically the 2020 elections in both countries-politicians, journalists, and activists discussed the importance of Black women voters as a voting bloc yet rarely specifically discussed poor Black women. The elision of poor Black women constitutes a longstanding tradition in both countries, two of the world's largest countries with slaveholding pasts. When poor Black women are made visible, they appear as crude, reductive stereotypes. In The Politics of Survival, Gladys Mitchell-Walthour brings Black women social welfare beneficiaries into current political conversations whose policy outcomes will affect their lives. The book considers the following questions: How do these Black women act as political subjects through the politics of survival in former slaveholding countries that make survival difficult? How do they engage in formal politics such as voting? Beyond voting, what are their opinions of social welfare policies and political candidates? How do they negotiate societal perceptions of social welfare beneficiaries? Moreover, given their marginalized positions as low-income Afro-descendant women, how do they perceive racial, gender, and class discrimination? Mitchell-Walthour considers the simultaneous impact of institutional racism, sexism, and classism on women who often live in households with dependent children and elderly parents, while also being unemployed or underemployed. She critiques neoliberal paternalism as a solution and intervenes by considering the social locations, opinions, and lives of poor Black women in order to demonstrate how they have to survive, providing a bottom up perspective"-- Provided by publisher.
