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.

44 Questions for Black America is a fresh new look at the racial dynamic of the United States. Author Byron F. Wilson addresses Black American issues with unyielding honesty and conviction, and holds both white and Black Americans accountable for Black America's less than desirable condition. His controversial, no holds barred approach examines our world with a fearlessly aggressive mix of research and editorial conclusion. Wilson not only exposes the problems, but also offers realistic solutions, a practice rarely seen in similar literary works. 44 Questions offers Black America a new sense of direction by replacing hope with action.

The election of President Donald Trump has been portrayed in the mainstream media as a doomsday event—especially for America’s racial minorities. And yet, reality has proven quite the contrary. Not only are African Americans employed at a greater rate than any other time since the late 1950s, black business formation is at an all-time high. In this groundbreaking book, longtime academic and political commentator Horace Cooper explains how Trump’s economic policies—including lowering taxes, eliminating stifling regulation, and renegotiating trade agreements—are producing an unforeseen boon to Black America. This book provides a philosophical framework through which Trump’s presidency can be viewed as a benefit to Black America, rather than a stumbling block.

A theoretical examination of the concepts of the citizen, citizenship, and leadership, A Crisis of Leadership and the Role of Citizens in Black America: Leaders of the New School proposes to develop a prototype or model of effective Black leadership. Furthermore, it examines “citizenship habits” of the Black community based on their economic standing, educational attainment, participation in the criminal justice system, and health and family structure. It tracks data in these four categories from 1970 to today, measuring effective leadership by the improvement or decline in the majority of African Americans standing in these four categories. This book concludes that African Americans have negative perceptions of themselves as U.S. citizens, which thus produce “bad citizenship habits.” Additionally, ineffective Black leaders since the Civil Rights era have been unwilling to demonstrate the purpose and significance of service, particularly to the poor and disadvantaged members of the Black community. Contemporary Black leaders (post–Civil Rights Era) have focused primarily on self-promotion, careerism, and middle-class interests. A new type of leader is needed, one that stresses unity and reinforces commitment to the group as a whole by establishing new institutions that introduce community-building.

Over the last several decades, academic discourse on racial inequality has focused primarily on political and social issues with significantly less attention on the complex interplay between race and economics. African Americans in the U.S. Economy represents a contribution to recent scholarship that seeks to lessen this imbalance. This book builds upon, and significantly extends, the principles, terminology, and methods of standard economics and black political economy. Influenced by path-breaking studies presented in several scholarly economic journals, this volume is designed to provide a political-economic analysis of the past and present economic status of African Americans. The chapters in this volume represent the work of some of the nation's most distinguished scholars on the various topics presented. The individual chapters cover several well-defined areas, including black employment and unemployment, labor market discrimination, black entrepreneurship, racial economic inequality, urban revitalization, and black economic development. The book is written in a style free of the technical jargon that characterizes most economics textbooks. While the book is methodologically sophisticated, it is accessible to a wide range of students and the general public and will appeal to academicians and practitioners alike.

The twenty-three contributors to this volume show that, despite racism, Black Americans have independently developed their own cultural strengths, which can help revitalize and support the Black community. The book is divided into four parts: (1) "The Movement"; (2) "Racial Exclusiveness and Denial: the Results"; (3) "Black Culture"; and, (4) "Black Action." Part I assesses the Civil Rights movement, its successes and failures. Part II provides new appraisals of old subjects which have undergone considerable change via the Black Revolution. Part III proposes new means of viewing the vitality of African American culture. Part IV contains a number of polemic discussions and proposals of new strategies for Black community organization and revitalization. (Adapted from editorial review in ERIC, 1970).

"This is a study of the history of ideas; specifically, ideas held by black Americans. It is the first intellectual history book to break with the standard interpretation of black thought that has dominated the field since the 1920's and it is the first study to relate present- day protest to the protest thought of the past. Essentially, this book attempts to get behind the formal ideas to their origins in myth and social necessity; it does not attempt to restate the pattern formal ideas of black thought have taken. While this study does help to put some of the formal ideas into new perspective, the primary purpose of the book is to study myth itself: its origin and its influence in structuring the patterns formal ideas have taken."--Publisher.

"Drawing from hundreds of hours of taped interviews and journalistic observation, Dent uncovers the widespread diversity of the lives of the black majority - middle and upper-middle-class African Americans. Along the way, Dent encounters a most eclectic and insightful array of characters. Through their lives, he not only examines and questions the most common American beliefs about race and politics but also explores issues that go beyond race and touch on social and moral questions that Americans of any hue confront."--BOOK JACKET.
