Passing for poor: the construction of poverty and race in immersion journalism

ABSTRACTThis article examines the practice of “passing” as a form of journalistic research into the conditions of poverty. A close reading of Ted Conover's work of immersive literary journalism. Rolling nowhere: Riding the rails with America's hoboes (1984/2001), reveals an uneasy tension between ethnographic and psychological frameworks for understanding the lives of impoverished “hoboes” who ride the railways of the American West. Through a comparison with John Howard Griffin's racial-passing narrative. Black like me (1961/2004), this article suggests that the increasingly psychological portrait of poverty in Conover's text bears a resemblance to constructions of racial difference. Although both texts set out to refute essentialist and biological notions of difference, they rely on the substitutes of damage psychology and trauma to much the same effect. This article concludes by exploring the economic and cultural reasons that immersive journalism on the subject tends to be so common, in effect blocking writers from impoverished backgrounds from reporting on poverty.

Poverty is not a gender neutral condition as the number of poor women exceeds that concerning men and women and men experience poverty in distinctive ways.

Following a multidimensional concept of poverty, the methodology used comprises a cross-sectional and a dynamic analysis of poverty, using data from ECHP (1995–2001). The results point to the importance of various factors contributing to women's vulnerability to poverty, such as issues related to labor market, lone motherhood, ageing and education.

Metropolitan Poverty: The Case of New York City

This study serves two purposes. First, it demonstrates a method of estimating and projecting annual poverty at sub-national levels. Data obtained from decennial censuses provide the benchmarks from which poverty is estimated and projected for various demographic groups. Projections are based upon curvilinear trends of rates and counts for each group. The methodology can be easily applied in a variety of jurisdictional settings and levels. The second objective is to provide a specific portrait of poverty by demographic group within the New York City metropolitan region. The evidence indicates a substantial increase over the next decade both in the incidence of poverty and in the number of impoverished residents. There will also be major shifts among population segments in their shares of total area poverty.

Franchising: A marketing system to improve inner city conditions

One of the most pressing problems for society today is that of the Race/Poverty dilemma. The plight of the black and the ghetto are synonymous in that they are a portrait of poverty. One program which many have heard very little about can make a significant contribution to upgrading of a ghetto area. It can do so primarily by creating new opportunities for the nation's small businessman—and, in the process, for those in disadvantaged minority groups. This paper examines the many facets of thefranchise system exploring its attractiveness to minority group members who aspire to own their own businesses, in uplifting the economic base of the ghetto, and in easing the plight of its inhabitants.
