Black Fathers: An Invisible Presence in America is divided into four sections:
• Part I offers some research and theory regarding the impact of fathers on the lives of their children.
• In Part II, reactions and experiences from those men who had active, involved, and committed Black men in their lives as they were growing up are shared.
• In Part III, stories are shared from African American men who had problematic relationships with their fathers, but who put forth the time, energy, and effort to work through the issues.
• The primary focus of Part IV is on how to strengthen the role of Black fathers, father figures, and social fathers in family life and child rearing by discovering and internalizing psychological strengths anchored in African American psychological themes, African values, and spirituality.
This book will appeal to scholars and researchers in the fields of race/ethnic relations, family studies, and Black studies.
