Caregiving is a long standing tradition in the African American
community. This book provides historical and contemporary insight
into caregiving. The authors intertwine the African American
struggle for dignity and social justice with their discussion of
various aspects of caregiving. An overarching theme of the book is
the resilience of African Americans in carrying out their
caregiving responsibilities. Although disparities are a part of the
caregiving landscape, the authors individually and collectively
present a rhythm of caregiving that engages the reader in
caregiving across the life span. This in depth look at the African
American caregiving experience exposes readers to a broader lens,
thus avoiding the often overly simplistic view or culturally
limited view of their caregiving experience. Caregiving is not
limited to any particular groupthe old and the young are a part of
the caregiving experience that is discussed in this book. The book
is a collaboration between social work programs at Historically
Black Colleges and Universities---Howard University (Washington,
DC) and Alabama A&M University (Normal, Alabama). The book
includes a wide range of content, from caring for older persons
with dementia to younger disabled children. The
authors/contributors also range in age and experience as
caregivers. All of the authors have extensive experience working
with African Americans. These are authentic accounts of the
caregiving experience within the African American community.
