Black Man Emerging

"A wide-ranging thoughtful look at the history of black men in the U.S. that takes a position on how to repair the damage of racism." -- Booklist
"Black Man Emerging is an important addition to the literature in Black Studies and Black Psychology. It is also an important contribution to the psychology of the African American male experience." -- Halford H. Fairchild, Pitzer College
"...a useful and intelligent synthesis of socio-psychological factors pertaining to the African American male. Over the years, I have read a number of books evaluating aspects of the psychology of African Americans, and this book certainly occupies a place among the top contributors." -- Robert V. Guthrie, Ph.D.
"...a clear, balanced, and comprehensive report on black men in America. Deftly weaving social science, social philosophy, and biographical stories, a sensitive and nuanced account of black men emerges. It is an easy and compelling read and a valuable contribution to our understanding of black men and their understanding of themselves." -- James M. Jones, author of Prejudice andRacism
"Trying to repair the damage of racism on the black male ego is a formidable task. Two black male psychologists have taken up the challenge. White and Cones combine forces to give an inside perspective on the experiences of black men in America. ..Not just for black men, it should be read by anyone interested in knowing where brothers are coming from." -- Black Issues
"In this wide-ranging, emphatically positive account of what it means to be a black man in contemporary America, White and Cones...provide a welcome antidote to discouraging headlines of violence and unemployment. Despite the inescapable complications of racism, most black men hold jobs, pay bills and taxes, and help raise kids just as most white men do. The authors' eloquent call for biracial dialogue offers a way to reduce the perceptual gap that denies this truth...Recommended for all collections." -- Choice
