Understanding the Black Family This book offers a comprehensive examination of the diverse and complex issues surrounding the black family unit as it has evolved from preslavery to contemporary society. The authors draw on more than fifty years of combined experience studying the Black American family to offer insights into the historical development, its changing structures, and the roles of its family members such as economics, racism, culture, and politics have affected the dynamics of family relations.
I had to read this book for my African American Experience Class, it was a throughly awesome revelation of the effects of slavery has had on Black people. Not to say the effects it takes on the many generations now and to come, if one is not aware of how to break the cycle.
