 By K. Sue Jewell

0-275-93504-3/978-0-275-93504-7

Description
Survival of the Black Family critically examines the social policies that arose from the civil rights movement. Jewell proposes new steps to economic independence for black families that would place this responsibility within all sectors of society, arguing that social policies and their absence have affected the status of black family structures. She refutes the myths of significant black progress that emanated from the civil rights era, including the belief in equity for minorities in societal institutions. 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. Jewell also discusses how newconservatism in the 1980s has affected the status of black families. Finally, Jewell offers guidelines to the formulation of a social policy that could enhance the status of black families in the United States.

Reviews:
-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. —SLA Social Science Division Bulletin
