Summary	Along with the traditional demands of parenthood, today's parents must grapple with such daunting issues of drugs, AIDS, violence, and educational pressures. But black parents face an even more challenging task; they must actively combat negative messages of racism while teaching their children to succeed in a white-dominated culture. In this thorough guide to parenting, two noted child psychiatrists, both African-American, focus on the special concerns of black parents. They offer comprehensive advice on nearly 1,000 common child-rearing questions, paying particular attention to such problems as building self-esteem and helping black children cope with the often unconscious racism of white society. Authoritative and comprehensive, Raising Black Children is an indispensable resource for every African-American family and for teachers of all races who seek to gain sensitivity to the needs of their black pupils. - back of book.
