Kenneth Maurice Tyler identifies and describes the multiple
identity components of young African American men using the
theoretical and empirical literatures from education and the social
science disciplines. Identity and African American Men: Exploring
the Content of Our Characterization provides a comprehensive,
research-based account of the ideologies and mindsets of many young
African American men. The study critically discusses eight identity
components that young African American men begin to negotiate
during their adolescent years. These identity components include
gender, sexual, racial, ethnic, cultural, socioeconomic, athletic,
and academic identity. Tyler begins with a premise that a
discussion of the behaviors and attitudes of young African American
men must take into consideration not only their feelings about
being Black; but feelings about being a man; about being
homosexual, heterosexual, or bisexual; about Black people in
general; about the specific cultural values one is socialized
towards; about access to resources and ability to make it; about
the ability to physically perform in sports; and about academic
performance and educational achievement. Identity and African
American Men makes a unique contribution to the scientific and
popular literature by offering a conceptual framework which
identifies the multiple identity components possessed by young
African American men. Such a framework expands the conversation
about African American men and their behaviors by broadening the
understanding of who these individuals are, the identities they
possess, and how their identity-based attitudes and orientations
may influence the behaviors exhibited by them."
