요약 : The War on Poverty was launched in Appalachia, focusing the nation's attention on a region long perceived as a geographically distinct and underdeveloped space, and culturally as a repository of "pure White Anglo Saxon stock." In the contemporary era, poverty has increasingly been portrayed as a social problem associated with an urban, African American "underclass." Racialized and feminized representations of the poor emerged in public discourse as the objective of the war evolved from eliminating poverty to eradicating victims of poverty from the welfare rolls. The critical social inequalities literature illustrates the centrality of race in the politics of poverty policy, from the inception of the federal safety net in the 1930s, through more recent assaults on the welfare poor in the 1990s. One important gap in this literature is a critical analysis of how whiteness might be implicated in the discursive construction of poverty. As a region historically constructed as white and poor, Appalachia provides an interesting contrast to explore how race is constructed in the poverty discourse and implicated in poverty policy. This dissertation provides a comparative analysis of the discursive construction of poverty in the media in two important critical discourse moments: The 1960s War on Poverty and the 1990s War on the Welfare Poor.
