Description and Table of Contents
Description
Two of America's most trusted and respected authorities on child care provide answers to nearly 1000 questions on the problem of raising African-American children.
Along with the traditional demands of parenthood, today's parents must grapple with such daunting issues as drugs, AIDS, violence, and educational pressures. But black parents face an even more challenging task: they must actively combat negative messages of racism while teaching their children to succeed in a white-dominated culture.
In this thorough guide to parenting, two noted child psychiatrists, both African-American, focus on the special concerns of black parents. They offer comprehensive advice on nearly 1,000 common childrearing questions, paying particular attention to such problems as building self-esteem and helping black children cope with the often unconscious racism and microaggressions of white society.
Authoritative and comprehensive, Raising Black Children is an indispensable resource for every African-American family and for teachers of all races who seek to gain sensitivity to the needs of their black pupils.
"A necessary addition to all parenting and parent-teacher collections."-Linda Cullum, Library Journal
