African American Women

"The essays in this collection, written from an ecological, socio-historical perspective, address the the multitude of issues that face African American women. The cross-disciplinary discussion is conducted with an eye for detail that is frequently missing from both contemporary and historical writings on the subject. Diverse in both training and background, the editors and contributors to this volume provide information necessary for scholars and service providers to succeed in working with this population. Innovative theoretical perspectives foster the understanding of African American women in an appropriate global context."--Jacket.
