Abstract:
“Give This Man Work if you would keep his wife and children alive; one child has already died from starvation,” wrote a concerned citizen to the East Side Relief Committee (Devins 1905: 322). The East Side Relief Committee was a special work-relief unit set up in 1893 by Josephine Shaw Lowell, the founder in 1882 of the Charity Organization Society (COS) of the City of New York (COSCNY) to combat the effects of the depression. That industrial depression in the early 1890s resulted in major unemployment and much suffering among the city's working class.The imperative of the letter (“Give This ManWork!”) illuminates the COS's policy toward relief before, during, and after the depression of 1893, a landmark date in social welfare history. Earlier, Lowell and the COS were best known for their concerns about the role that “indiscriminate” relief played in harming the moral character of the recipients and undermining the living standards of employed workers, not how it could be used to ameliorate joblessness. “I believe that among the many causes of poverty,” Lowell asserted in a speech, “one of the most potent is careless relief-giving, whether by what are called charitable societies, by private individuals,or from public funds” (quoted in Stewart 1974 [1911]: 216).

Abstract:
2007 - 2008
In questa tesi si affronta la risposta elaborata da organizzazioni non statali - per la maggior parte a carattere laico e volontario - al problema della povertà urbana che accompagnò le rapide trasformazioni economiche e sociali negli Stati Uniti alla fine del secolo XIX. In quegli anni, l’espansione industriale era affiancata dall’incremento dell’urbanizzazione, da migrazioni interne, con spostamenti massicci dalla campagna verso la città, da flussi migratori internazionali, in particolar modo dall’Europa, da periodiche crisi economiche e da una maggiore visibilità del movimento operaio, che si manifestò con la nascita dei sindacati industriali. Questo è il contesto in cui si elaborarono nuovi modelli di intervento filantropico tesi a rispondere ai problemi di ampie fasce della popolazione, spesso al di sotto di un reddito di sopravvivenza. Tali modelli, rappresentando l’unica risposta a un problema sociale così ingente e pressante come quello della povertà, si articolarono in forme sempre più elaborate, capaci di generare una domanda crescente di conoscenza scientifica del fenomeno. In particolar modo, nel lavoro ci si sofferma su un modo innovativo di intendere la filantropia, proposto dai social workers: quella filantropia che, fino ad allora, aveva avuto un carattere spontaneo e caritatevole, ispirato da un sentimento di tipo morale-religioso, diventava a poco a poco sempre più scientifica, cercando di rispondere a criteri di efficacia ed efficienza. Viene, quindi, analizzato lo sviluppo della “Charity Organization Society”, che determinò una razionalizzazione dell’azione caritatevole, una valorizzazione dell’azione dei social workers e l’istituzionalizzazione del volontariato. Nel contesto della spinta riformatrice che informa quegli anni e dell’opera delle donne all’interno del mondo della filantropia, la figura di Josephine Shaw Lowell risulta di particolare interesse, per il ruolo preminente rivestito all’interno del COS, perché essa, oltre a rappresentare una social worker di primo piano, influenzò il dibattito sulla povertà e contribuì significativamente a far emergere la questione degli emarginati e l’importanza di una legislazione sistematica che offrisse un quadro specifico e più informato del problema della povertà.

Abstract:
There was virtually no federal spending to counteract five major depressions or substantial unemployment in between. Unemployed people received almost no public or private assistance, and they were the target of nasty stereotypes. This chapter analyzes those who promoted negative views, including classical economists who claimed that unregulated markets tended to produce full employment, and charity organization leaders like Josephine Shaw Lowell who believed that poor people needed to be disciplined. The chapter also discusses defenders of the working class, including economist John Commons and reformer Jacob Coxey, who wanted public works for the unemployed. Over time more policy-makers gained a compassionate and scientific comprehension of unemployment, but federal policy in 1920 was not very different from what it had been in 1880.

Abstract:
Chapter 2 explores how the shift to an unpredictable, urban wage economy left many families unable to care for or make use of “idiotic” relatives who might be only partly productive. Complicating matters, charity policies intended to prevent public dependency—scientific charity programs and efforts to separate diverse poorhouse residents into specialized institutions—increasingly selected pupils who had no home to which they could return. In response to this rapidly increasing and permanent population, asylum directors allied with proto-eugenicists such as Josephine Shaw Lowell to convince lawmakers to fund dedicated custodial asylums for “feeble-minded” people. In these institutions, inmates’ labors no longer led to discharge. Instead, perceived abilities determined every facet of life, from institutional conditions to inmates’ likelihood of dying shortly after arrival, and often in perverse ways. Despite being depicted by superintendents as unemployable in mainstream society, “feeble-minded” women who were institutionally productive were much less likely to be discharged and remained for decades, performing vast amounts of unpaid care work that defrayed much of the costs of these custodial asylums. Nonetheless, for some inmates, their toils offered some meaning and a small measure of control over their lives.
