Description: "Successful African-American Men: From Childhood to Adulthood is a unique study of the nurturing behavioral settings that high-achieving black men used as adolescents and examines whether social capital played a role in helping them negotiate their way out of disadvantage. Equally important is how these settings accommodated the men's diversity, complexity, and the influence of black culture, and reconciled it to their ability to respond and cope with mainstream America. This volume will be of interest to psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, and others interested in the rich diversity of experience found within communities of color."--Jacket.
