5. FRAC - Post Welfare Reform Hunger Studies states 4 (California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, michigan, New Jersey Eightyfourpercent of cities surveyed reported increased demand for state studies. http://www.frac.org/html/news/welfarestudies.html

FOOD INSECURITY AND HUNGER IN THE WAKE OF WELFARE REFORM A number of recent studies highlight continuing unacceptable levels of hunger and "food insecurity" in the wake of welfare reform. Even as many families move off assistance and into the workforce, low wages and unstable employment leave many of them without adequate access to food. At the same time, emergency food providers report continued long lines and requests for food, particularly among working families and households with children. The following are key food insecurity/hunger findings from recent welfare reform and emergency food studies. While some of these data are from 1997 before federal welfare law was fully implemented, they reflect both the beginning of implementation and, in a number of states, fuller implementation of work demonstration projects that were approved before 1996. National/Multi-State Studies of Hunger/Food Security The Urban Institute's "Snapshots of America's Families," In a 1997 study of families no longer receiving TANF assistance in ten large states (California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas), 36 percent of families surveyed reported that their children were eating less or skipping meals due to cost.

Afrotopia: The Roots of African American Popular History (cont'd.) In short, Afrotopia is a text describing the ways in which reflective individuals of African ancestry dealt with realities of oppression in the Americas and Africa, forcefully supported by the charge that persons of African descent were biologically inferior, hence deserving of their social status. Blyden, DuBois, Garvey and Ferris all attempted to refute the Eurocentric argument for the inferior social status of persons of African descent in the Americas and Africa by objective evaluations of the history of civilization in Africa. Today the debate continues with Eurocentric scholars attempting to refute claims for the anteriority of African civilizations in Africa. Mary Lefkowitz's Not Out of Africa and Stephen Howe's superficial Afrocentricity are cases in point. Moses believes that Lefkowitz's text, which he describes as a "diatribe" "will probably result in far more harm than good" (p. 9). It is true that Lefkowitz's text is problematic in its attempts to conflate African American folk beliefs with more empirically oriented works. More specifically Lefkowitz's text focused on the issue of the relationship of ancient Egypt to ancient Greece and her research efforts fail because of her emphasis on African American folk beliefs about the ancient Greco-Egyptian world rather than focusing on the more researched efforts of scholars like DuBois, Diop, and Ferris. Moses falls into the same trap when he accuses nameless researchers of Egyptocentrism. As mentioned above the real Egyptocentrics have been scholars of European origin.

C CASE STUDY: Mid-Peninsula Library Cooperative L R The Context In 1977, the state Library of Michigan established 14 regional cooperatives to administer programs that allocate state aid to libraries. In addition, historically, the cooperatives have enabled public libraries to guarantee citizens access to information by providing services that can be delivered more efficiently by a larger organization. Examples of such services include group purchasing, central processing, or coordination of interlibrary loan. The Mid-Peninsula Library Cooperative (Mid-Pen) serves six counties in the rural Upper Peninsula of northern Michigan ( http://blue.up.lib.mi.us/midpen/home.html ). The constituents for Mid-Pen are the 13 public libraries in this large and sparsely populated area. The Mid-Pen member libraries together serve 129,667 people in an area larger than the state of Connecticut. The 13 libraries are located in communities that range in population from 2,000 to 15,000. The area is noted for lumbering, mining, and both summer and winter tourism. Communities are geographically dispersed, and harsh winter weather further isolates individuals from each other, heightening the need for alternative communications media. At the Mid-Peninsula Regional Library Cooperative, important leadership changes have taken place since Council staff members visited in July 1996. Gary Silver, the Mid-Pen director, resigned in mid-July, and Mary Cary of the Escanaba Public Library has been serving as the acting director while the search for a new director proceeds. In this case study we have chosen to present our snapshot of Mid-Pen as it was taken at the time of the Council's staff visit.
