Publisher's Synopsis
Our Last Hope: Black Male-Female Relationships in Change is designed to provide information that has been carefully researched and written about a critical topic for those who would seek to understand the future of Black families-- the foundation of the Black community. While the book sets forth a theoretical model -Lens Model-for examining interpersonal and institutional factors shaping these relationships which ultimately determine the existence of Black families, it illuminates important topical areas. Among the topics included are: demographic issues, sex and gender issues, marital relations, economic issues, religious issues, psycho-social issues, Afrocentric cultural issues, and sexuality and the Hip Hop generation. Our Last Hope: Black Male-Female Relationships in Change concludes with recommendations for building and sustaining healthy relationships and questions for reflection.
