	Reconstruction 5.3 (Summer 2005) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		His thesis is twofold: First, Watters argues that the rising network of urban tribes that have come to define Gen X mark a break in traditional networked relationships, from those rooted in familial bonds and civic duties to those organized around interlocked friendships grounded in the compact spaces of cities.
		He opens the section by arguing that urban tribes provide comfort from "the cultural norms [and] pop-cultural narratives" of being a thirty-something single, which include the assumptions that being thirty, single and living with roommates signified being gay, being single forever, and/or being a slacker.
		Surrounding oneself with an urban tribe, whose members are likewise older and single, reaffirmed the 'normalcy' of the situation and made those cultural norms irrelevant.

		I've read some articles about "Urban Tribes" and I think that this is extremely true for people in their 20s.
		Urban values have changed dramatically and many are finding comfort in the consistancy of a group of close friends.
		I don't think you have to be single to belong to a tribe, I used to belong to an urban tribe, even while married, now I live in the "country" and have a new tribe, whom I love just as much.

		Tribe 2 knows how to make that bass thump in the stereo but it's the lyrics that separate Tribe 2's message with the current trend of lyrics which often depicts the bad social conditions of urban life.
		Tribe 2 wants to change these false perceptions, and what better way to do this than by using their traditional Navajo language to get to Navajo youths.
		Tribe 2 is definitely the leader of the pack in using traditional Navajo language and adapting the lyrics to fit the urban beat.

	Urban Tribes the Blog: My Favorite Review So Far
		The Urban Tribe is more or less all-encompassing, running the gamut from emotional to financial to professional ties—a family in all but the formal rules...and the requirement that you always stick around.
		Urban Tribes lasts only 260 pages, which is a damned shame; I could've read another couple hundred pages of it, no problem.
		Urban Tribes is an excellent treatise and a helluva fun read; I give it 4 1⁄2 stars and recommend it to everyone who worries about what's going to end up happening to all those Gen X'ers.

		As he chronicled the elastic entity that is a tribe, Watters met and married a woman named Rebecca, and their first child is due quite soon.
		There is something for them in Urban Tribes, too, though the book will serve less as a validation of their lives than as an interesting peek at the ways in which others have created a certain type of existence.

	The changing face of single life \| csmonitor.com
		But "Urban Tribes" chronicles not only the benefits of mass friendship during the unmarried years, but also the drawbacks, such as a dampening of the desire to get hitched.
		The author resists defining urban tribes too narrowly, but he does argue that creating such groups is something that comes naturally to humans when faced with the need for support.
		Watters talks about both the support tribes can provide - taking on the role of parent by suggesting and approving of partners - and the hindrance they can be when members get jealous of significant others, or when they reserve their loyalty and emotion for their friends.

		An urban tribe is a community of friendship that provides emotional and practical support to a dozen or more young people who are living and working in the city.
		Membership in these tribes tends to be fluid, but they usually form around a group of people who work or went to college together, and who bring in new members as they make new friends.
		Everything that is right and good about a healthy urban tribe should be found in the church, with the added blessing that comes from being together in the presence of God and following his good instructions for a life full of joy and purpose.

		Problem is he's not sure how to define his new term, "urban tribes." A self-described "reluctant trend setter," he's sweating over whether or not he's going to make any sense.
		As a result this book is largely a nostalgic, somewhat idealized narrative of urban tribes from across the spectrum in the '80s and '90s.
		In one particularly instructive and insightful anecdote, Watters shows how a tribe, in its zeal to discourage a female member from continuing a bad relationship, ends up pushing her even farther into the arms of an abusive boyfriend.

	Urban Tribes the Blog
		In "Urban Tribes: A Generation Redefines Friendship, Family and Commitment," Ethan Watters, a San Francisco writer, suggests that the culture of the "Friends" generation, as narcissistic as it appears, has created a kind of solidarity that has made people less fixated on nesting and more attuned to one another as a community.
		While tribes can include married couples, they’re usually composed of those who have delayed marriage into their late twenties, thirties and forties.
		When people understand that they are not alone in delaying marriage – when their lives get put in a context like urban tribes – they seem to feel much better.

	Trust is key to these loosely organized surrogate family groups (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Ethan Watters defines "urban tribes" as groups of friends close in age, most born in the '60s or '70s, who may not be quite ready to settle down into lifelong careers or relationships.
		By the way, the tribe is not limited to single people; rather, gatherings sometimes begin with families who arrive early with their kids and end up filled with unattached revelers in their 20s.
		An urban tribe is a fluid entity, Watters writes, in which new members are continually welcomed while old ones are free to move on when their lives take detours.

	New Tribalism
		The traditional tribe is a relatively small and intimate community when compared with modern western culture.
		A down side to this is that sometimes a person is born into a tribe with interests and maybe a destiny that lies outside of the tribal culture.
		In a consciously chosen or created tribe you can be fully your unique self and, at the same time, have the psychological safety and support that comes from belonging to a like-minded group of people.

	the value of urban tribes. Many-to-Many:
		After the popular reception of his New York Times article "The Way We Live Now: In My Tribe," Watters started documenting different forms of "urban tribes." These collectives are often comprised of tightly-knit groups of overeducated, unmarried, 25-39 year old friends who came together in cities to provide support and companionship.
		There's no question that tribes are a real and functional (even when dysfunctional) alternative to nuclear family models for some people and for some period of time.
		Urban tribes can be characterized by some pretty strong bonds, but that doesnt stop them or their members from falling apart.

	Generation X is in no hurry to settle down, says Ethan Watters, who charts their social meandering in 'Urban Tribes'
		Rather than seeing a mass case of responsibility-shirking, Watters, 39, came to believe that his group of friends -- his "urban tribe," as he took to calling it -- was in fact part of a larger, mostly undocumented social movement forming a pragmatic new kind of community.
		Out of that experience comes "Urban Tribes: A Generation Redefines Friendship, Family and Commitment," Watters' authorial turn as a self- described "reluctant trend-spotter." Part memoir and part sociological reporting, it tells the story of a generation that, as Watters sees it, has a much bigger conscience than it's been credited with.
		In "Urban Tribes," Watters tells of the trials and triumphs of his own group of friends, recounting similar stories from urban tribes around the country.

	The Next American City
		Watters defines an urban tribe as a complex web of relationships—not just a “group of friends,” but a cohesive entity that is more than the sum of its parts.
		Tribes usually have their own rituals, such as weekly dinners or annual vacations, and function as surrogate families, celebrating one another’s successes and providing needed support.
		For Watters, tribes are a distinctly urban phenomenon, born from the dense concentration of young, creative people in cities and their need for community.

	neps_bookshelf: Urban Tribes - Ethan Watters
		By the time the reader realizes that Urban Tribes doesn't even merit the genre "pop-sociology", he/she is sucked into the narrative of Ethan Watters' personal quest for meaning.
		This author, however, was clearly very concerned about the merit of his choices and uses the first half of the book to demonstrate that the Urban Tribe lifestyle is both steeped in human sociology and a novel way to deal with the vagaries of singlehood in the early twenty-first century.
		If this was to be a book about the Urban Tribe, it should not have become a book about marriage.

		Per the different articles on the subject, the number of never-marrieds has more than doubled in less than three years and the median age of marriage is the oldest it has been in our country’s history¾25 years for women and 27 for men.
