Most studies of Black families have had a `problem focus', offering a narrow view of important issues such as out-of-wedlock births, single-parent families and childhood poverty. Family Life in Black America moves away from this negative perspective and instead deals with a wide range of issues including sexuality, procreation, infancy, adulthood, adolescence, cohabitation, parenting, grandparenting and ageing. A fresh aspect of this book is the amount of diversity it reveals within black families and the forces that shape, limit and enhance them.

Relationships with family and friends, community life, religion, work, racial identity, political attitudes and participation, and physical and mental health are among the topics explored in this volume on Black Americans. It reports the findings from a survey which collected and analyzed data on social, psychological, economic and political behaviours of Americans of African descent. This survey, the first to sample a truly representative cross-section of black people in America, was designed and conducted with a sensitivity to cultural influences never attempted before.

Virtually every measurable aspect of the quality of life for Black Americans is declining. Poverty, crime, drug addiction, disease, and educational problems continue to plague a growing segment of the Black population. An enriched understanding of the Black family - an institution seen as both the cause and victim of many of these problems - is an essential step toward stemming the decline of the quality of life in Black America. 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. Robert Staples and Leanor Boulin Johnson draw on more than fifty years of combined experience studying the Black American family to offer insights into the specific characteristics and needs of this institution. Black Families at the Crossroads looks at the historical development of the Afro-American family, its changing structures, and the roles of its family members. It describes how external forces such as economics, racism, culture, and politics have affected the dynamics of family relations. Examining all the dimensions of family life, Staples and Johnson go beyond statistics to explain the reasons behind dating and sexual norms, patterns of marital interaction, the prevalence of the female-headed household, and characteristics of family life among the aged. Based on the authors' extensive research, this book explores how children fare in households with only a single parent; how economic success correlates to marital happiness; how youths are socialized into dating roles in Black culture; and how income, education, and occupational levels differ between Black men and women.

Stewart's analysis of the African American father and husband is a significant contribution to the family literature in general and the Black family literature in specific. Curricula on family theory and research in colleges and universities will find the book resourceful and informative, says Professor Schiele in the Foreword. It presents an extensive literature review on family studies and a well constructed theoretical framework. In addition, Stewart's command of research concepts and his use of advance statistical procedures provide an excellent example of how research and quantitative methods can be applied to address critical issues in African American family life. Lastly, Stewart's insightful pragmatic recommendations will be of great assistance to social service and public policy professionals in developing more appropriate services and policies that affect African American fathers and husbands.Although this book can be especially useful for those in social science related disciplines, it also has appeal for the non-social scientist. Because of the lack of information on the role of African American men in African American families, this book can serve to familiarize the nonsocial scientist with many of the historical and contemporary issues affecting African American families. The major contribution of this book, however, is that it advances this society's knowledge of African American families by acknowledging the centrality of an often neglected piece of the African American family puzzle: the Black father and husband.

The deliberate devaluation of Blacks and their communities has had very real, far-reaching, and negative economic and social effects. An enduring white supremacist myth claims brutal conditions in Black communities are mainly the result of Black people's collective choices and moral failings. “That's just how they are” or “there's really no excuse”: we've all heard those not so subtle digs. But there is nothing wrong with Black people that ending racism can't solve. We haven't known how much the country will gain by properly valuing homes and businesses, family structures, voters, and school districts in Black neighborhoods. And we need to know. Noted educator, journalist, and scholar Andre Perry takes readers on a tour of six Black-majority cities whose assets and strengths are undervalued. Perry begins in his hometown of Wilkinsburg, a small city east of Pittsburgh that, unlike its much larger neighbor, is struggling and failing to attract new jobs and industry. Bringing his own personal story of growing up in Black-majority Wilkinsburg, Perry also spotlights five others where he has deep connections: Detroit, Birmingham, New Orleans, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. He provides an intimate look at the assets that should be of greater value to residents—and that can be if they demand it. Perry provides a new means of determining the value of Black communities. Rejecting policies shaped by flawed perspectives of the past and present, it gives fresh insights on the historical effects of racism and provides a new value paradigm to limit them in the future. Know Your Price demonstrates the worth of Black people's intrinsic personal strengths, real property, and traditional institutions. These assets are a means of empowerment and, as Perry argues in this provocative and very personal book, are what we need to know and understand to build Black prosperity.

Despite the messages we hear from social scientists, policymakers, and the media, black Americans do in fact get married—and many of these marriages last for decades. Marriage in Black offers a progressive perspective on black marriage that rejects talk of black relationship "pathology" in order to provide an understanding of enduring black marriage that is richly lived. The authors offer an in-depth investigation of details and contexts of black married life, and seek to empower black married couples whose intimate relationships run contrary to common—but often inaccurate—stereotypes. Considering historical influences from Antebellum slavery onward, this book investigates contemporary married life among more than 60 couples born after the passage of the Civil Rights Act. Husbands and wives tell their stories, from how they met, to how they decided to marry, to what their life is like five years after the wedding and beyond. Their stories reveal the experiences of the American-born and of black immigrants from Africa or the Caribbean, with explorations of the "ideal" marriage, parenting, finances, work, conflict, the criminal justice system, religion, and race. These couples show us that black family life has richness that belies common stereotypes, with substantial variation in couples’ experiences based on social class, country of origin, gender, religiosity, and family characteristics.
