Abstract

A major study of social stratification is Allison Davis and John Dollard's children of bondage. It was designed to explain the personality development of Negro youth in New Orleans, using “social class” and “color caste” as basic concepts. This paper holds that individuals are primarily identified with more limited social segments—“social worlds.” The most significant “social worlds” in New Orleans Negro society are the middle class, matriarchy, gang, nuclear family and marginality.
