Manhood in Black Americans

This book focuses on the effects experienced by African American slaves and their fragmented descendants at the hands of Europeans. The basic point is that all male slaves were put through a program designed to destroy their selfhood on the way to molding them into ideal robots devoted to servicing White men. Although most Black males are still recovering from the effects of culturally transmitted slavery programming, it is remarkable how well many have done against all odds. The subcategories of today's Black American males are classified here and suggestions are given -especially to single mothers with sons-for rearing Black males into mature individuals.
