Krainz examines how communities in the American West cared for refugees. The ten case studies include a range of different causes that forced people to flee, including revolution, war, genocide, environmental disaster, and economic recession. Communities tapped into their local resources to provide for refugees, and this informal welfare proved\u2014in the short term\u2014remarkably efficient, effective, and, at times, flexible and innovative. However, local communities simply could not sustain their widespread relief efforts for long and providing meaningful and comprehensive long-term aid proved a near-universal failure.<\/p>\n<p>Krainz\u2019s examination of how Progressive Era residents cared for refugees uncovers a significant segment of welfare policies and practices that have remained largely obscured. These examples of informal, short-term assistance efforts profoundly challenge our standard depiction of local Progressive Era welfare practices as anemic and unresponsive to those in crisis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>      <span class=\"entry-category\">Category: <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home \u00bb Books \u00bb A Great Many Refugees: Progressive Era Assistance in the American West by Thomas A.
