All Our Kin: Strategies for Survival in a Black Community
Carol Stack's All Our Kin is a classic ethnography from the early 1970s. Her 1974 book All Our Kin has been described as "a classic of urban sociology",[7] "one of the earliest and most popular accounts of how [black kinship] all works"[8] and "influential".[9] All Our Kin is the chronicle of a young white woman's sojourn into The Flats, an African-American ghetto community, to study the support system family and friends form when coping with poverty. The Book tore down stereotypes and opened the way for research on families and social structure in American communities. The book portrays of the social networks and value systems that evolved within African-American communities to combat grinding poverty. In communities plagued by single-parent families and joblessness, the book chronicles intense loyalties and an intricate trading system that ensures survival. All Our Kin challenges white America to reevaluate its notion of family.
Call To Home: African Americans Reclaim the Rural South
Call To Home: African Americans Reclaim the Rural South is a poignant saga of a reverse exodus: the return of half a million black Americans to the rural South.There have been many books focusing on the black migration out of the South into Northern cities. But few people are aware that between 1970 and 1990 the trend has reversed, with half a million African-Americans moving back south,[10] to some of the least promising places in all of America—places the Department of Agriculture calls “Persistent Poverty Counties.” Carol Stack brings their stories to life in this captivating book. Interweaving a powerful human story with a larger economic and social analysis of migration, poverty, and the urban underclass, Call to Home offers a rare glimpse of African-American families pulling together and trying to make it in today's America.[11]
