Specifically, the study asks three questions: (1) How is racism measured relative to wealth, status and power in the United States?

The rhetorical force of the arguments was derived from a scientific way of thinking. They were universalising and objectifying, and were arranged to disconfirm plausible rival hypotheses. The arguments functioned ideologically to defend segregation and criticize social transformation in South Africa, which they did by placing ontological limits on ‘what is’ and ‘what is possible’ regarding cultural contact.

We contrast normative expectations traditionally integral to the culture of extended families with the counternormative demands that drug use imposes on households. This highlights the untenable nature of caregiving for Emma and countless others of her generation. Compelled by tradition and sentiment to help their own children, they are thus allowing drug use driven norms, values and beliefs to permeate the lives of the grandchildren in their care. Yet, they are also trying to protect those children from drugs and from the violence and conflict that drugs bring into the household. Emma’s own life illustrates the salience of norms of kinship, reciprocity and respect, and the trauma in her household demonstrates how their absence does, indeed, intensify demands and erode resources. We conclude that the imperatives of raising the next generation may necessitate a counternormative willingness on the part of grandparents to exclude their adult drug using children from their households.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":88662,"journal":{"name":"Race & society : Official journal of the Association of Black Sociologists","volume":"3 2","pages":"Pages 143-163"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1090-9524(01)00026-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28595125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
