Oscar Lewis
, born
Lefkowitz
(December 25, 1914 – December 16, 1970) was an American
anthropologist
. He is best known for his vivid depictions of the lives of
slum
dwellers and his argument that a cross-generational
culture of poverty
transcends national boundaries. Lewis contended that the cultural similarities occurred because they were "common adaptations to common problems" and that "the culture of poverty is both an adaptation and a reaction of the poor classes to their marginal position in a class-stratified, highly individualistic, capitalistic society." He won the 1967 U.S.
National Book Award
in Science, Philosophy and Religion
for ''
La vida: a Puerto Rican family in the culture of poverty--San Juan and New York
''.
