Publisher's Synopsis
In this personal and practical look at black/white relations in the United States, Dr. George Henderson examines differences between blacks and whites from a cross-cultural perspective. Written for white Americans, the goal of Our Souls to Keep: Black/White Relations in America is not to belabor the problems of race but rather to discuss the impact of these differences and offer suggestions for dealing with them effectively. Our Souls to Keep is an excellent text for use in African American studies courses, sociology and anthropology courses with a component on black/white race and ethnic relations and diversity training programs designed specifically to reduce racism and prejudice. It's an essential resource for teachers, students, businesspeople and anyone committed to coming to grips with racism and its effects in the United States.
