She has also been the recipient of grants from the National Institute on Aging and the National Science Foundation. She received the Distinguished Scholar Award from the Section on Aging, and is the recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the American Council of Learned Societies. She is the author of 12 books and more than 50 articles. Her book “The Color of Welfare: How Racism Undermined the War on Poverty” received the award for Outstanding Book on the Subject of Human Rights in North America from the Gustavos Meyers Center for the Study of Human Rights.
