Beyond What Are Given as Givens: Ethnography and Critical Policy Studies

Two examples illustrate the vital role of ethnography in creating social policies that respect the variety of human experiences. One is a study of block grants in the rural south, the other of fast-food service workers in Oakland. These examples show the importance of using similar methods but with differences i…

Kinscripts
This paper introduces kinscripts, a framework for exploring how families as multigeneration collectives, and individuals embedded within them, negotiate the life course. Kinscripts comprises three closely -woven, culturally-defined family domains: kin-work, kin-time, and kin-scription. Kin-work is the tasks that families need to accomplish to survive over time. Kin-time directs the temporal scheduling of family transitions. Kin-scription is the a…
Reinterpretation of Black Return and Nonreturn Migration to the South 1975-1980
Commonly used classifications of return and nonreturn migrants based on birthplace and previous residence do not accurately reflect the extent of familial and social ties behind recent black migration to the southern US. Analysis of the household context of individual migration confirms evidence from individual interviews with migrants that thousands of black children and adults born outside the South are moving to the region as part of return mi…

Black Kindreds: Parenthood and Personal Kindreds among Urban Blacks
Concern with cross cultural study of kinship and the family has recently led to some new and useful categories for kinship analysis. The most important contribution is the framework proposed by Goodenough (1970) for defining sociological parenthood. A look at what urban blacks make of the chain of parentchild connections is a special eye opener to students of the black family. This study suggests "matrifocality" is a poor predictor of the variety…
