This book discusses current research on identity formation, family and peer influences, risk and resilience factors, and concepts of masculinity and sexuality in African American boys. Sorting out genuine findings from popular misconceptions and misleading headlines, this concise and wide-ranging reference covers the crucial adolescent years, ages 11-16, acknowledging diversity of background and experience in the group, and differences and similarities with African American girls as well as with other boys. In addition, the authors review strengths-based school and community programs that harness evidence and insights to promote pro-social behavior.
Featured areas of coverage include:
- The protective role of ethnic identity and racial socialization.
- Family management, cohesion, communication, and well-being.
- Development and importance of peer relationships.
- Health and well-being.
- Theoretical perspectives on educational achievement.
- Factors that contribute to delinquency and victimization.
- What works: effective programs and practices.
African American Boys is an essential resource for a wide range of clinicians and practitioners - as well as researchers and graduate students - in school and clinical child psychology, prevention and public health, social work, mental health therapy and counseling, family therapy, and criminal justice.
Faye Belgrave, Ph.D., is Professor of Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University. During the past 20 years, Dr. Belgrave has developed, implemented and evaluated several prevention interventions designed to promote positive adolescent development.
Kevin Allison, Ph.D., is Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Wilder School and Associate Dean for Community Activities within the College of Humanities and Sciences at Virginia Commonwealth University. Dr. Allison's research and programmatic interests focus on community assets and promoting positive developmental outcomes among African American youth and families.
