The goal through each revision of this core text has been to compile a book that focuses on positive dimensions of African American families. <br/><br/>The book remains the most complete assessment of black families available in both depth and breadth of coverage. Cross-disciplinary in nature, the book boasts contributions from such fields as family studies, anthropology, education, psychology, social work, and public policy. Directions for future research are suggested at the end of each chapter, and references guide readers to more in-depth discussion of specific topics. Chapters are grouped into six parts covering history, theoretical conceptions, religion, child socialization, gender relations, and public policy. <br/><br/>New to This Edition: <br/>A new chapter 2 by the creator of the annual celebration of Kwanza, Maulana Karenga and Tiamoyo Karenga A new chapter 16 by noted historian of Black women, Darlene Clark-Hines Two new chapters on religious dimensions by Harriette Pipes McAdoo (chapter 7) and by Pamela Martin (chapter 9) A new chapter 10 covering the topic of death is discussed by Latrese Adkins, with emphasis on the role that funerals play with Black communities A new chapter 17 on breast cancer prevention for women by Karen Williams adds to the coverage of gender relations The latest demographic information on Black families in a new chapter 11 written by Harriette Pipes McAdoo Jonathan Livingston updates John McAdoos work on the socialization of men within families in a revised chapter 15 Robert Hill updates his earlier chapter on social welfare policies in a revised chapter 23 that examines the aftermath and impact of welfare reform enacted during the Clinton administration Black Families, Fourth Edition will interest students, scholars, and practitioners in African American Families, Black Families, and related courses in fields of African American and ethnic studies, human development and family studies, sociology, social work, and education.", "author": "Harriette Pipes McAdoo", "slug": "black-families-495376-9781452279039", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9781452279039.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "495376", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/495376/black-families-495376-9781452279039", "bisac_codes": [ "FAM000000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9781412936385", "EISBN13": "9781452279039", "EISBN10": "1452279039" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010037305864" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000495375", "attributes": { "name": "Economic Development Finance", "subtitle": "", "description": "\"Incredible.

Here, communication theory is shown to be the work of real persons living real lives, asking real questions of real problems. By celebrating and evaluating the lives of Black scholars as they have sought to advance communication studies, readers are introduced to perhaps the first truly foundational text our field has to offer! By tracing pioneers life histories up to their current contributions to the field of communication, students will not simply be exposed to a concept and its definition, but rather invited to explore the evolution of both the concept and its progenitor. This illuminates and enlivens the study of communication while helping readers to be conscious of the conditions that have helped to shape our current state of knowledge.

The cases were then written from multiple perspectives, allowing the reader an opportunity to understand the influence of family, school, and society on the youths development. Each case tells a youths life story, including the events and relationships that have influenced the child and his or her cognitive, social, and emotional development. The youth in these cases represent a cross section of ages and socio-economic levels and exhibit diversity in their ethnic backgrounds, religious/spiritual beliefs, gender, family structures, and disabilities. </p> <p>The cases are intended to elicit discussion on a wide range of issues in development. To this end, this book explores many critical (and sometimes controversial) topics, such as teen pregnancy, sexual orientation, disabilities, child abuse, domestic violence, death of a parent, and more.

Readers also learn the importance of involving community members at every stage of the project and in every aspect of the research.</p>", "author": "Randy Stoecker", "slug": "research-methods-for-community-change-495364-9781452289915-randy-stoecker", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9781452289915.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "495364", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/495364/research-methods-for-community-change-495364-9781452289915-randy-stoecker", "bisac_codes": [ "SOC024000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9781412994057", "EISBN13": "9781452289915", "EISBN10": "1452289913" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010037306889" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000495361", "attributes": { "name": "Experimental Design", "subtitle": "Procedures for the Behavioral Sciences", "description": "This classic text, with a reputuation for accessibility and readability, has been revised and updated to make learning design concepts even easier.
