Survival of the Black Family: The Institutional Impact of American Social Policy
Editorial Reviews
Review
“This is a compelling text that raises serious questions on issues that have plagued the development of the black family in our society. The author has pulled a wealth of research from credible sources to develop a text that is aimed at the crux of those issues, both social and economic, that have had a negative influence on the development of the black family.”–
Book Description
This volume examines the social policies that arose from the civil rights movement and proposes new steps to economic independence for black families that would place the responsibility within all sectors of society. Jewell argues that social policies and their absence have affected the status of black family structures, and she refutes the myth of significant black progress since the civil rights era. Attention is focused on the extent to which black families have been adversely affected by a process of assimilation, which was sociopsychological rather than economic.
