5.0 out of 5 stars helpful info to black women in abusive relationships, November 27, 1998
By A Customer
Chain Chain Change is a self help book that provides extremely helpful information to black women in abusive relationships. White repeatedly enforces the idea that abuse is not the woman's fault and that it should not be tolerated. Throughout the book the reader is given small bits of helpful information and hints that may be just enough to to get a woman out of an abusive relationship. This book can be helpful to women of all ethnicities. White does however focus on the "history" of abuse in the relationships if blacks especially focusing on the racism blacks face and how that affects their self esteem. She says that such treatment can often lead a black man to feel helpless and powerless, lead him to feel as though he is unable to provide from his family. These types of emotions are what White says can often lead a black man to violence. She also stresses that black women should not worry about causing rifts in the black community if they were to report domestic violence, as they are so often told is what will happen ; when reporting violence, they should worry about their own physical and mental well being as well as their childrens; they are the ones in immediate danger. One other extremely important aspect of this book, which is new to the recent edition, is the section on abuse in lesbian relationships. By including this section White shows that abuse happens in all forms of relationships, and lets the reader know that help is available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful, January 9, 2007
I felt this book was straight to the point, and could be used as a helpful guide to women that are experiencing domestic violence. I had bought this book to use for a paper, and received an A.
