Discusses the origins of many of the ideas that Americans have about what roles men and women play in family units as well as many of the ways in which the black family unit has broken down as a result of slavery, racism, and the women's liberation movement.
This book is well written and researched. The authors have a heartfelt desire to help black couples to deal with the myriad of problems that they face and it definitely comes across in the pages. It presents historical reasons for the problems (more than you may be aware), then categorizes them. Finally, they present possible solutions. These are 'harsh' but, in my view, necessary. Definitely a wedding gift for a young black couple.
