Tally's Corner : A Study of Negro Streetcorner Men (New ed)

The first edition of Tally's Corner, a sociological classic, was the first compelling response to the culture of poverty thesis - that the poor are different and, according to conservatives, morally inferior - and alternative explanations that many African Americans are caught in a tangle of pathology owing to the absence of black men in families.

Elliot Liebow's new introduction to this long-awaited revised edition bring the book up to date.
