Narrating the 1980s and 1990s: Voices of Poor and Working-Class White and African American Men.
Weis, Lois; Fine, Michelle
Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v27 n4 p493-516 Dec 1996
The divergent views of poor and working-class African-American and White men regarding the causes of their current condition are presented. Different "biographies of race" encourage African-American men to blame the economy and racism but White men to blame Black males for the economic plight of White men. The ways in which the two groups fashion social critique has serious implications for the future. (MMU)
