The Blacklands of Gerontology
TL;DR: The third visit to The Blacklands of Gerontology as discussed by the authors focused largely upon a presentation and critique of selected literature pertinent to aging and aged blacks, emphasizing especially the paucity and inconclusive findings of much of the available data, emergent issues arising therefrom (such as those of relationships between and among race, aging, religion, family and kinship, and health, as well as methodological ones principally concerned with inadequate conceptualizations and collection and interpretation of the data), the usually low socioeconomic statuses of black aged, and critical research and social policy needs.

TL;DR: This paper analyzed data on the relatives children were named after as an empirical index to the subjectively salient inner core of kin in a sample of 347 urban middle-class mothers and found that boys are more apt to be named for kin than girls, and kin-naming declines sharply with each higher order of birth.
