Black Fathers: An Invisible Presence in America by Michael E. Connor, Joseph White
Requirements: .PDF reader, 2.1 Mb
Overview: In the parlance of social psychology, social work, and urban social scientists, African American fathers have often been described as “absent,” “missing,” “non-residential,” “non-custodial,” “unavailable,” “non-married,” “irresponsible,” and “immature.” It is wondered why it is/was so difficult to find literature, research, and comments regarding positive attributes of African American families in general and African American fathers in particular. This book fills a void in attempting to offer a broader picture regarding the status of African American males in a father role. The purpose is to get beyond the African American father “invisibility” syndrome and gloom and doom pathology oriented labels and tell another side of the story about the power of fathering in the African American experience. The book brings these “invisible” social and biological fathers to life by telling their stories and letting the reader hear and feel the vibrancy of their voices as they struggle to meet the challenges of being fathers and Black men in America.
