- W2339978858 abstract "Since Stack’s (1974) landmark ethnography of kin support in a close-knit group of poor black mothers in the Midwest, there has been ample research on social support among low-income black families. While this body of work has largely painted a picture of the cohesive and supportive nature of families in black communities, recent research has highlighted the limited nature of kin support, especially the support available to low-income black mothers. Much of this work, however, has focused primarily on urban black mothers and paid less attention to the conditions that poor rural black mothers face when seeking and giving family support. Using longitudinal ethnographic data from a sample of 16 low-income black mothers in the rural South, we draw on social exchange, negotiated-order, and social capital perspectives to scrutinize the nature and costs of kin support in family networks marked by limited resources, instability, and chronic need. Our findings reveal the centrality of problematic resources and unpredictable family networks as conditions that diminish mothers’ autonomy and compromise important “side bets” as mothers seek out, manage, and repay support. Implications of this study for theories of social support and social capital are also discussed. Social support—the giving of instrumental, emotional, and informational assistance to others—is an essential part of human social life (House, Umber son, and Landis 1988; Thoits 1995). In either real or perceived form, social support can enable individuals and families to meet their daily material and emotional needs and cope with the demands of life, whether as an outcome of instrumental help (Pierce, Sarason, and Sarason 1996), a moderator of stress (Cobb 1976; Dean and Lin 1977), or a socially available coping resource (Thoits 1986 and 1995). Such support can be formal, including financial assistance from federal and state programs such as “welfare” or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or informal, involving assistance" @default.
