This review is from: The Developmental Psychology of the Black Child (Paperback)

As Dr. Wilson correctly observed, "In an oppressive society, the social institutions, of which the family is part and parcel, actually work against the oppressed." That said, one must recognize that the oppressed mustn't employ the same methods as the oppressor for building strong families and rearing productive children. In the Developmental Psychology of the Black Child, Dr. Wilson skillfully provides Black parents with the tools needed to produce the type of children needed for further the race.

This review is from: Developmental Psychology of the Black Child (Paperback)

This book is very thorough... It embraces ideals that we, as a people, hold dear and yet it is grounded in truth... the reality of our circumstances. I would definitely recommend this book to all who have dealt, are dealing and will be dealing with "the black child."
