Now more than ever there is a need to focus on Black men's health
in higher education and ensure that future practitioners are
trained to ethically and culturally serve this historically
oppressed community. This textbook provides practical insight and
knowledge that prepare students to work with Black men and their
families from a strengths-based and social justice lens.Â
There is a dearth in the literature that discusses the
prioritization of Black men’s health within the context of how
they are viewed by societal approaches to engage them in research,
and health programming aimed at increasing their participation in
health services to decrease their morbidity and mortality rates.
Much of the extant literature is over 10 years old and doesn't
account for social determinants of health, perceptions of health
status, as well as social justice implications that can affect the
health outcomes of this historically oppressed population including
structural and systemic racism as well as police brutality and gun
violence. The book's 13 chapters represent a diversity of thought
and perspectives of experts reflective of various disciplines and
are organized in four sections: Part I - Racial Disparities and
Black Men Part II - Black Masculinity  Â
 Part III - Black Men in Research  Â
       Â
 Part IV - Social Justice Implications for Black Men's
Health     Black Men’s
Health serves as a core text across multiple disciplines and
can be utilized in undergraduate- and graduate-level curriculums.
It equips students and educators in social work, nursing, public
health, and other helping professions with the knowledge and
insight that can be helpful in their future experiences of working
with Black men or men from other marginalized racial/ethnic groups
and their families/social support systems. Scholars, practitioners,
and academics in these disciplines, as well as community-based
organizations who provide services to Black men and their families,
state agencies, and evaluation firms with shared interests also
would find this a useful resource.
