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.
