Fieldwork on Black family life in the Southern United States
Theodore R. Kennedy presents an anthropological account shaped by a year of fieldwork in a Southern community. Centered on Black family relations, the book uses in-depth analysis to examine social life in a region the description characterizes as untouched by the civil-rights movement. Published in 1980, it places family relationships within a broader historical and racial context, making its scope more specific than a general introduction to African American studies.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers studying African American and Black studies
- Students of anthropology, family relations, and community fieldwork
- Readers interested in Southern social history and race relations
