Abstract	This volume brings together leading experts from different disciplines to offer new perspectives on contemporary African American families. A wealth of knowledge is presented on the heterogeneity of Black family life today; the challenges and opportunities facing parents, children, and communities; and the impact on health and development of key cultural and social processes. Comprehensive and authoritative, the book critically evaluates current policies and service delivery models and offers cogent recommendations for supporting families' strengths. The book is of interest to researchers and students in developmental psychology, family studies, public policy, and sociology; also of interest to educators and clinicians. It may serve as a supplemental text in advanced undergraduate- or graduate-level courses. The book is divided into three major parts and 15 chapters.
