Bøker av Joyce A. Ladner

Presents a sociological study of black girls growing up in the city. Rejecting the white middle-class perspective of "deviant" behavior, the author examined the expectations and aspirations of these representative black girls and their feelings about parents and boyfriends, marriage, pregnancy, and child-rearing.

Now in paperback, this timeless treasure distills traditional wisdom for a new generation of black families. Joyce Ladner chronicles the roots and relevance of specific, African-American values and offers 100 practical recommendations for renewing their meaning in today's families, communities, and churches.
