>From anthropologist Jeff Maskovsky. . . .

Dear All, 


As you know, in October there was a front-page article in the New York Times on 
the Comeback of the "Culture of Poverty,"  based on a special issue of the 
august ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, under 
the title "Reconsidering Culture and Poverty." 


My colleague Stephen Steinberg has written a rejoinder that has just been 
posted on website of the Boston Review. Here is the link: 
http://www.bostonreview.net/BR36.1/steinberg.php


Note that the Annals was published with much fanfare, including a Congressional 
briefing, clips on You Tube, and a widely disseminated brochure, all 
culminating with Patricia Cohen's piece in the New York Times (the machinery of 
hegemony). Inspired as I am by Wikileaks, it would be great if you could 
disseminate the Boston Review piece to your minions. If the spirit grabs you, 
you can also weigh in on the commentary on the Boston Review website.


Take care,


Jeff
