Assimilation Blues: Black Families in a White Community

This incisive study uses a phenomenological approach in its examination of black families in a white community. It goes beyond the probability statistics of attitude and behavior surveys to let the families speak for themselves about their experiences. Assimilation Blues provides an in-depth look at the realities of being a middle-class black parent, living, working, and raising children in a predominantly white community, through first-hand interviews. The candid responses of both parents and children about their lives and experiences raise many important issues that have immediate relevance for black families regardless of where they live.Tatum, Beverly Daniel is the author of 'Assimilation Blues: Black Families in a White Community' with ISBN 9780963214621 and ISBN 0963214624.
