The Black Kinship System.

Barnes, Annie S.

Phylon, v42 n4 p369-80 Dec 1981

Viability of Black, middle-class kinship groups is attributed to letter writing, personal contact, telephoning, mutual help, and ritual. Kin knowledge and interaction is reported to vary according to socioeconomic status and sex. Kin relations are said to be female-dominated and family reunions male-dominated. (JCD)
