From the Publisher
Being Black in America
In this book the author describes the complexity of the problem of being black in America and the direction the solution may take. The author indicates there are economic, philosophical and behavioral aspects to be resolved, but that a willingness to address the problem is the prime requisite. Examples are used to illustrate specific points throughout the book pertaining to racism, discrimination, integration, the importance of family on education, affirmative action, black crime, black anti-Semitism, black leaders in the black movement and the role of government. Because the problems can be considered from many different perspectives, in reviewing the country's black problem, the author has attempted to include the opinions, the biases and prejudices and the proposed solutions of both blacks and nonblacks, academics, reporters, writers and politicians. Insofar as the problem that blacks experience is creating a greater mental health problem than most people realize (it has been called by some the number one mental health problem in America today), the book offers invaluable insight in the need for a better understanding of the current situation. It will be of interest to those in the mental health and sociology fields, as well others who are concerned about social and community factors affecting mental health.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Charles C. Thomas, copyright 2007. Second edition. Large paperback that could be used as a textbook, 10" tall, 336 pp. including name and subject indexes. This copy in very good condition overall. No marks or hi-liting in text. Clean except for very light coffee stain (about 1/2") on the very edges of the last few pages, mainly in the last two chapters ( Brief Review of Selected Individual Counseling Therapies and Conclusion). This stain is about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom and only about 1/2" in length on very edge of pages. Also, the top of the spine has a small bump (indentation). The covers are curling a little. Binding is good and sound. No loose pages or tears. Book appears little used, though someone did have coffee with it. Better-than-average copy. Contents are in four parts: Culture and Multiculturalism, Disability, Disabilities and Multiculturalism, and Helping. The Helping part has been considerably expanded for this edition, with three new chapters. Also, a new chapter on Religion has been added. Seller Inventory # ABE-1599020889176
