This volume presents unique, "culturally relevant" interventions
that can teach coping skills to African American boys with a
history of aggression. Stevenson provides the history and current
events for readers to understand why these youths perceive violence
as the only way to react. Interventions and preventative actions
developed in the PLAAY project (Preventing Long-Term Anger and
Aggression) are presented. These include teaching coping skills and
anger management via athletics such as basketball and martial arts.
Frustrations and strengths in those athletics illuminate the
players' emotional lives, and serve as a basis for
self-understanding and life skill development. This book also
examines such issues as: How parents can be empowered to help their
aggressive children What cultural socialization is and why it is
necessary to help African American boys Why novel, "non-White"
approaches are needed to empower positive growth in these children
and teenagers How boys who are seriously aggressive are
misunderstood as criminal, adult, or pathological.
