Description: In Black Man Emerging, prominent psychologists Joseph L. White and James H. Cones III reflect on the fate and state of America's Black men.

Using numerous case histories, biographical sketches, and their own personal points of view, the authors explore the challenges faced by Black men - in claiming their sense of identity and coping with racism, for example - as well as their potential sources of strength, such as family, community, and the guidance of firm and steady authority figures. They consider how society has adopted the ways and ideas of Black men, as well as how society has influenced their development and daily lives.

In addition, the authors suggest strategies for succeeding under the specter of racism and offer advice to society on moving toward acceptance.
