This book analyses the evolution of the contemporary African American family from historical cultural and social policy perspectives in an effort to understand why marital ties have weakened among poor African Americans and why mother-only families have increasingly become a normal feature of ghetto poverty. Franklin argues that the cumulative effects of slavery, sharecropping, and urbanization significantly weakened African American family ties and that mother-only families emerged in the early 20th century as a response to the instability of wage labour for African Americans.

John Hope Franklin Donna Franklin's book is an excellent illustration of the importance of history to the understanding of current problems. She provides the reader with a very important lesson in how to understand current stresses in family life by studying the ways in which early experiences and circumstances led logically and inevitably to the present depressing, even alarming, state of family life at the end of the twentieth century. This is an important work.

Theda Skocpol, Professor of Government and Sociology, Harvard University Why are so many African-American children growing up in mother-led families? From a nuanced historical perspective, Donna Franklin offers no-holds-barred answers to this question. Conservatives and liberals alike will find things in her argument with which to agree - and disagree. She brings a provocative new perspective to America's pressing debates about poverty, fatherlessness, and how to (really) reform welfare.
