NEW LOOK AT BLACK FAMILIES CB

The miracle of the black family is that it has survived and grown stronger over the years. Eighteen case studies provide a window through which we see patterns of variation in the life-styles of affluent, middle-class, working-class, and poor black families. A new feature of this edition is the overview that compares the way of life of blacks in the three social classes. A comparative analysis of black and of white families is introduced.
