Tally's Corner
A Study of Negro Streetcorner Men
Engels
80 b
The first edition of Tallys Corner, a sociological classic selling more than one million copies, was the first compelling response to the culture of poverty thesisthat the poor are different and, according to conservatives, morally inferiorand alternative explanations that many African Americans are caught in a tangle of pathology owing to the absence of black men in families. The debate has raged up to the present day. Yet Liebows shadow theory of valuesespecially the values of poor, urban, black menremains the single most parsimonious account of the reasons why the behavior of the poor appears to be at odds with the values of the American mainstream.While Elliot Liebows vivid narrative of street-corner black men remains unchanged, the new introductions to this long-awaited revised edition bring the book up to date. Wilson and Lemert describe the debates since 1965 and situate Liebows classic text in respect to current theories of urban poverty and race. They account for what Liebow might have seen had he studied the street corner today after welfare has been virtually ended and the drug economy had taken its toll. They also take stock of how the new global economy is a source of added strain on the urban poor. Discussion of field methods since the 1960s rounds out the books new coverage.
