Description
More than twenty years ago, Carol Stack and her young son Kevin participated in daily life among families who joined the Great Migration and moved north to Midwestern cities. Stack went to The Flats so she could study black families firsthand-with their approval and participation. In this classic bestseller, Stack writes about these families, refuting many of the stereotypes popularized by certain scholars of "the culture of poverty" and "the black family." Keenly observed and perceptively interpreted, All Our Kin is an important contribution to our understanding of the effects of poverty on human lives and to the current debate over social welfare policies.ISBN:9780061319822
