Examining the cultural and psychological influences on black men and black men's influence on American society at large, this text provides a wide breadth of coverage incorporating: political, economic, cultural, religious, educational, community and family issues.

In the face of centuries of institutional and interpersonal racism, in light of the signals they receive from society, given the choices they must make about what they want from life and how to go about getting it -- how can Black men in America realize their full potential?In Black Man Emerging, psychologists Joseph White and James Henry Cones, III, fashion a moving psychological and social portrait that reflects the authors' personal views on the struggle against oppression and for self-determination by Black men. Using numerous case histories and biographical sketches of Black men who have failed and prevailed, the authors describe strategies for responding to racism and entrenched power -- underscoring the healing capacity of religion, family, Black consciousness movements, mentorships, educational programs, paid employment, and other positive forces. They also explore the concept of identity as it applies to being Black and male and the influence of Black men on American culture. Black Man Emerging is a poignant and personal discussion of the issues facing and felt by the Black men in this country and an important commentary on the conflicts born of human diversity.
