They are three miles apart. The hope is that kids connect, but some of the public school kids just can’t get over the divide. We hear what happens when you get to see the other side and it looks a lot better.

Introduction to Talley's Corner (1966) by Elliott Liebow


Context:

  • The War on Poverty: Riots, Vietnam (1966)
  • The Moynihan Report (1965): crisis of inner city family
  • Refocus issue from delinquency (criminal teenagers) and dependency (welfare mothers) to the villain of the story, the absent adult male.
 

Method:

  • Not Sociology: data gathered by social workers, census workers, parole officers, and teachers using questionnaires to generate statistical reports.
  • Urban Anthropology: long term participant-observation of a culture by meeting individuals on their own turf and on their own terms (as if studying a native culture).
  • Liebow invented the discipline, or rather he renamed it: its practitioners used to be called reporters and novelists.
 

Setting:

  • Washington, DC (1962-63): How was the ghetto different in 1963?
  • The New Deal Carry Out Shop

The Cast:

  • Tally; Sea Cat; Richard; Leroy
 

Problems?

  • Who funded the research? Who is Elliott Liebow? How did he select what would be included in this book? How did the men on the corner manipulate him? What is his ideological perspective?

The Inflation Calculator: $1.00 (1962) = $7.60 (2014)

  • Federal Minimum Wage: $7.25 (2014) = $0.72 (1962) (The real minimum wage was $1.00 in 1962)
  • Laborer Wage: $1.50 to $2.65 an hou = $11.40 to $20.14 an hour (2014) 
  • Top Pay for Jobs Available to Corner Men: $45.00 per week = $342.03 (2014) or  $1368.12 a month (2014)
  • Rent = $12-20 per week =  $91.21(26%) -$152.01 or $600.00 a month (2014) (44% of salary) (I pay @ 18% of my income on rent per week.)

In Class Essay on Tally's Corner

Evaluate the validity of Liebow’s thesis.

 

Describe the ghetto related behaviors and attitudes which typify the street corner man’s culture.


Does Liebow succeed in making the case that this culture of poverty has been shaped primarily by the lack of career opportunities for black men living in urban neighborhoods? Does this argument refute the Moynihan Report’s understanding of the origin of the culture of poverty?

 

Does Liebow’s anthropological method, anecdotal evidence, and writer’s intuition enable him to provide convincing support for his argument, or has his perspective been biased by his own  ideological preconceptions and the unbridgeable class and cultural differences which exist between the observer and  the subjects of his study?

2016 Catalyst Conference Speaker-- Becky Scurlock

Becky Scurlock is a student at Lakeside School in Seattle, WA.  Becky is passionate about empowering young people to change the world and was a recent speaker at the National Service Learning Conference. During her freshman year, she co-founded a club based on Ashoka’s Youth Venture program, from which her current project, Youth Powerhouse, was born. Youth Powerhouse strives to harness the energy and creative potential of young people to catalyze positive change. By providing a database of helpful tools, crowdsourcing a map of youth ideas and action, and highlighting additional tips through social media, Youth Powerhouse is empowering teenagers to join the change-making movement.

GOA Catalyst Conference:

One of the largest-ever online conferences led by students. The conference will offer students a space on the web to advocate for change in their local community. By allowing students an opportunity to create innovative proposals and publish to a wider audience, the conference will be unleashing a torrent of student innovation that has the potential to impact communities near and far. The conference will be entirely asynchronous, allowing participants worldwide to attend and interact with the conference presenters. The student’s advocacy will fall into one of three categories: raising awareness, promoting grassroots action, or promoting institutional change.
