(Name-mce) ListServ books on poverty

[Janet Morrison]

I have read the discussion on Ruby Payne's book. I am wondering if 
people could offer some alternate suggestions to her book. Something 
preferably current, but any good book on poverty would do.
   
  Thanks!

If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.
