Abstract

A review of the various cycles in research on non-poor Black families is related to various movements within the Black community. The relevance of various SES classifications and characteristics of economically mobile families are explored. The roles of dual-parent employment, high mobility aspirations, and discrimina tion on parenting are covered. In a sample of 178 families with 305 parents, the extended family help network was found to be still an important source of support, from kin and fictive kin, for newly mobile and those one or two generations of middle-income status, yet the reciprocal obligations for help received were not felt to be excessive.
