Ethel Robinson has written an amazing book. As she wisely argues,
despite a rapidly growing middle and upper class, popular media and
public debates continue to view African-American families from a
deficit perspective. Portrayals of African-American families in
newspapers, television, and contemporary scholarship tend to focus
on single-parent households, low parental expectations, and lack of
family involvement in schooling. The families you will meet in this
book contradict these stereotypes. In carefully crafted vignettes,
Dr. Robinson and paints an alternative portrait of life in
African-American households. In this marvelous book, you will see
eight intact families intimately involved in the academic and
social lives of their children. Some volunteer in their children's
classrooms; others serve as devoted tutors and mentors; still
others are active advocates, arguing passionately for school
services; all hold fast to the hope that their children will
achieve their piece of the American dream. This book is a powerful
antidote to the negative portrayals of African-American families
that abound in mainstream media.It is a ""must-read"" for
researchers, educators, and all who wish to look beyond and beneath
the stereotypes of African-American family life.
