Black and Latino families are in fact highly family-oriented and
want to be involved in exchange networks but, because they are
economically disenfranchised, they are prevented from
participation. The vitriolic debate on welfare reform currently
sweeping the nation assumes that if institutional mechanisms of
social support are eliminated, impoverished families will simply
rely on an extensive web of kinship networks for their survival.
The political discourse surrounding poverty and welfare reform has
an increasingly racial undertone. Implementation of social policy
that presupposes the availability of family safety nets in minority
communities could have disastrous consequences for many without
extended kin networks. Many scholars and political analysts assume
that thriving kin and non-kin social support networks continue to
characterize minority family life. Policy recommendations based on
these underlying assumptions may lead to the implementation of
harmful social policy. No More Kin examines extended kinship
networks among African American, Chicano, Puerto-Rican, and
non-Hispanic white families in contemporary America and seeks to
provide an integrated theoretical framework for examining how the
simultaneity of gender, race, and class oppression affects minority
family organization. Breaking new ground in a variety of fields, No
More Kin is sure to become a valuable resource for students and
professionals in family studies, gender studies, and race/ethnic
studies.
