Summary:

This book addresses the dilemma and choices confronting the Black community in such areas as AIDS, homosexuality, the so-called "down low population." love and relationships, survival between African American men and women, including interracial marriages, identity crises among biracial children, increased cohabitation, decreased birth rates of children between African American men and women. Other areas touch upon survival of the African American culture in the domain of single parent families, economics, education and the perceived loss of respect for elders and traditions. The question posed is whether or not the African American race will survive or will it become blended into the larger society and lose its distinct identity? This book challenges and inspires a re-examination about values and in what it means to be Black.
