Table of ContentsReviewsFor those who know of the author s work, this book provides a revealing glimpse into the man behind the reputation. But, even for those unfamiliar with it, Becoming a Footnote is a highly readable and engaging account of a life s work that would be of interest to anyone pursuing an academic position, including those who wonder how to remain real and relevant from inside academia. Vicki Lens, Columbia University <br><br> This book drew me in and works as a narrative on two levels. First, it is disarmingly and convincingly self-deprecating about the struggle to become a critical thinker, to write well, and to devise research programs that would shed light on major questions. Second, it is a valuable history of the central debates around social welfare policy, neoliberalism, and racial stigma.
