Jason DeParle, Senior Writer, The New York Times

DeParle provides a probing analysis of the consequences for poor Americans of the 1990s policies 'ending welfare as we know it.' His widely acclaimed book, American Dream: Three Women, Ten Kids, And A Nation's Desire To End Welfare, weaves together the political story of welfare reform, poverty, and race in the US. He helps us grasp the complex unfolding of the most significant change in social policy in the last 30 years.
