The African American Child: Development and Challenges

"This nonpolemic book should be in all libraries. Highly recommended."-- Choice

This textbook introduces students to the socioeconomic, educational, and health-related issues impacting the lives of African American children, but have been typically ignored in mainstream textbooks. The book is designed to be student friendly, as each chapter presents an "Insider's Voice," a narrative about the issues discussed. The chapters feature dialogues of current biological, environmental, and cultural theories, as well as suggestions for additional videos and websites to guide critical thinking.
