If you have been looking for a single source which deals with these and related controversial questions from a black perspective, then this is the book for you. Between its covers, The Developmental Psychology of the Black Child, first of a series dealing with the growth, development, and education of the Black child, the first book that deals exclusively with the physical and psycho-social development of the Black child in a scholarly but readily understandable way, forthrightly confronts these and other issues. This seminal and thought-provoking book goes beyond other such attempts of this type in a variety of ways: (1) It presents many little-known facts and surprising details about the development of the Black child. (2) It presents an honest, poignant, spirited and in-depth description of the world of the Black child from conception to school age. (3) It explores, in a unique way, the world of the black parent. (4) It tenaciously pursues the implications of the issues it deals with and makes positive recommendations for evaluating them.
