Summary:

Black Children, Second Edition collects current empirical research unique to the experiences and situations of Black children and their parents. As the editor emphasizes, "African American children develop a duality for their existence. To be fully functional, they must develop the skills to do well simultaneously in two different cultures, both Black and non-Black." This volume explores the meaning of this duality in four distinct environments: socioeconomic, parental, internal, and educational. The complex picture that emerges discredits many of the myths that surround Black childhood development and initiates in-depth exploration into the diversities of the African American experience.
