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. 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 Part III - Black Men in Research 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.

This work is designed as a working resource for academicians and
practitioners involved with community health work at the higher
educational level. Faculty, students and community participants are
the focus of this collection whose purpose is community
health-based service learning - where and when coming out to the
community as caring catalysts is central to a higher education
mission. All these catalysts must see themselves as partners in a
service learning community of practice; They must embrace the
analysis of self-reflection toward cultural competence, and thy
must engage in data and diagnostic decision-making through action
research or service learning in community health intervention.
Service learning literacy" is defined as skill, behaviour,
attitude, knowledge or awareness that is manifested, within the
community health worker or researcher, as a result of or outcome
from a faculty led, community service learning activity or
experience as part of a student's academic program of study in
higher learning. Higher education, through civic engagement and
community service learning, must combine efforts with local and
regional communities to help eradicate health disparity, eliminate
health vulnerability, optimize healthy life style, promote
inter-generational and cyclical health and wellness and maximize
health care access to the under-served and uninsured. All these
aspects of community health work are dealt with by contributions
from scholars and practitioners involved in the community health
movement. Contributing Editors include Dr.s Tracy Mims, Jerry
Watson and Karen C. Wilson. Contributors include Professors Richard
Schmuck, Joseph Martin Stevenson, Ricky Boggan, Chris Ann Arthur,
John J. Green and Dr D. Melissa Phillips. The first volume of the
book conceptualized specific frameworks in the context of action
research, faculty reflections about action research, general
rubrics for action research, overlapping action-research methods,
scope of both proactive and responsive action research, and
collaborative processes involving action research. The second
volume deals with broader frameworks relative to service learning
as social work, global perspectives, cultural competence, community
health, environmental justice, hypothetical case scenarios and
presented examples by two of the authors who trained and active
social workers.
The authors have not considered a traditional executive summary for
this book so that readers will read and absorb the entire the book
to capture the essence, content and scope of this timely
publication. Their experience has been that, too often, college
students limit their reading of material about race to synopses
versus synergies of information. The primary purpose of this
holistic handbook is to provide guiding prescriptive principles
toward institutionalization of policies and practices that foster
global diversity and local inclusion in institutions of higher
learning in the aftermath of the unsettling and disturbing racial
incidents in the Deep South following the re-election President
Barack H. Obama. Ironically, President Obama was criticised in 2013
for the lack leadership diversity (especially women) among his
cabinet and senior staff. In any event, this handbook has been
conceptualized based on the individual, collective and culminating
Southern "cotton to" experiences of the five authors from both
predominantly/historically White institutions of higher learning
(PWIs) and predominately/historically Black institutions of higher
learning (HBCUs). Both institutional communities can use this book
to create campus climate and culture for global diversity and local
inclusion. The handbook encompasses seven chapters, seven
conceptual frameworks in a logic model, and seven steps for
campus-community collaboration. The book also highlights three
dimensional "circular" themes and threads from spirituality in the
preface and the initial chapter from several faiths and religions
to introduce and symbolize spiritually different yet "commonly"
denominating doctrines from around the world. We believe these
themes and threads represent the "Commonwealth of intellectual
intersections" in modern academe, driven by diverse intellectual
capital and inclusive cerebral currency. This book was written to
encourage systemic, holistic and systematic inputs, operations,
outputs, outcomes and impacts that yield returns on investment
(ROI) from campus-wide implementation of global diversity and local
inclusion efforts.
