The Legacy of All Our Kin: A Conference in Honor of Carol Stack

This spring marks the 35th anniversary of the publication of All Our Kin, 
Carol Stack's path-breaking ethnography of the survival strategies of 
African-American women living in poverty in urban America. A conference 
honoring the legacy of Stack's work will be held at Yale University Friday, 
May 1 - Saturday, May 2, 2009. We will be celebrating more than three 
decades of Stack's contribution to ethnography as a method of critical 
inquiry into the social conditions and public policies that shape people's 
everyday lives. For information about speakers and conference registration,
