Beskrivning

Returning to his innovative work of twenty-five years ago, Robert Hill once more offers an incisive analysis of five key cultural strengths of African-American families. With compassion and eloquence, he argues that these existing strengths provide a solid foundation upon which to develop the kind of public policies and self-help initiatives that will truly promote the interests, not only of the African American community, but of our diverse nation as a whole.

While many continue to dismiss Hill's contributions, his argument is a powerful one which has important implications for social work and social policy. Hill's book shows how proper understanding of the strengths of the African American community can inform policy makers.
