Publisher's Synopsis
How do young black fathers relate to their children, as well as to their own fathers? How do they see their roles in both family and community? Written by both popular commentators and those who have tackled these questions first-hand, Be a Father to Your Child begins with a frank discussion of how family formation has changed since the 1960s, especially for black communities. In addition, the book presents more personal, anecdotal pieces that form a powerful composite portrait of the challenges facing these communities, and how to overcome them.
