Book excerpt: This book offers a broader, more positive picture of African American fathers. Featuring case studies of African-descended fathers, this edited volume brings to life the achievements and challenges of being a black father in America. Leading scholars and practitioners provide unique insight into this understudied population. Short-sighted social policies which do not encourage father involvement are critically examined and the value of father engagement is promoted. The problems associated with the absence of a father are also explored. The second edition features an increased emphasis on: the historical issues confronting African descended fathers the impact of health issues on Black fathers and their children the need for therapeutic interventions to aid in the healing of fathers and their children the impact of an Afrikan-centered fathering approach and the need for research which considers systemic problems confronting African American fathers community focused models that provide new ideas for (re)connecting absent fathers learning tools including reflective questions and a conclusion in each chapter and more theory and research throughout the book. Part I provides a historical overview of African descended fathers including their strengths and shortcomings over the years. Next, contributors share their personal stories including one from a communal father working with underserved youth and two others that highlight the impact of absent fathers. Then, the research on father-daughter relationships is examined including the impact of father absence on daughters and on gender identity. This section concludes with a discussion of serving adolescents in the foster care system. Part II focuses on the importance of a two-parent home, communal fathering, and equalitarian households. Cultural implications and barriers to relationships are also explored. This section concludes with a discussion of the struggles Black men face with role definitions. The book concludes with a discussion of the impact of adoption and health issues on Black fathers and their children, and the need for more effective therapeutic interventions that include a perspective centered in the traditions and cultures of Afrika in learning to become a father. The final chapter offers an intervention model to aid in fatherhood. An ideal supplementary text for courses on fathers and fathering, introduction to the family, parenting, African American families/men, men and masculinity, Black studies, race and ethnic relations, and family issues taught in a variety of departments, the book also appeals to social service providers, policy makers, and clergy who work with community institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hearing Voices is a true-life story that shows the determination of one boy, Nathan Lewis, to become the father he never had as a youth. Lewis? story is seasoned by friends and relatives who believe they are giving him the best advice, yet at times their suggestions are much less than golden. Not only do the voices of friends influence Lewis, but also the voice of God offers Lewis options for solving many of his teen and young adult problems. Lewis? sifts through voices, both internal and external, to find his way in life as a man and father. Hearing Voices is ultimately about fatherhood, and the determination to break generational abandonment by black men in African American families. Lewis? story is an inward journey that finds redemption and healing from drug abuse, thoughts of suicide, abandonment and violence in the act of taking responsibility for the lives he created. The view Lewis offers of his heart and decision-making process regarding fatherhood is valuable to single mothers, fathers, and children who have emotional scars from missing parents. Hearing Voices is a celebration for fatherless parents and children. It is a victory story. Readers will find a story unlike any other. Lewis effortlessly weaves in and out of spiritual, academic, social and racial experiences while offering moral and human thought simultaneously. This coming of age story is riveting and comparable to any other contemporary African American stories of struggle and victory. Readers will see the faith and determination of a young black man to be what the other men in his life were not: available fathers. With an appendix of statistics on fatherless-ness and suicide Hearing Voices is a real life study ofthe trials of fatherless children. Genre: Biography, Non-Fiction, Contemporary Poetry, African American Poetry, Spoken Word.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this ethnographic case study was to identify influences that replace the presence of Black fathers with children living in non-paternal homes. For my research investigation, influence was defined as people and/or experiences and/or activities engaged in positively or negatively. When fathers are not present on a consistent basis, identifying what contributes to student’s social, emotional, and academic development was indispensable. Data were collected and analyzed from five research participants and consisted of grade cards, attendance and discipline records, in-depth interviews, and observations. Although all five case study participants shared distinctive qualities such as personality, academic achievement, and, experiences, four principal themes were present across all cases: achievement, development, experiences, and school support. Findings from the data sets were corroborated and confirmed by the population studied and it was determined that the greatest influence that replaced nonresident fathers were resident guardians. In addition, church organizations, counselors, and coaches were identified as instrumental champions whose influence was irreplaceable as it involved meeting the paternal needs of students.

Download or read book Giving Voice to the Experiences of African American Daughters who Grew Up with Nonresidential Fathers written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dynamics of father-daughter relationships may have a lasting effect on daughters. This relationship experiences a variety of changes, when fathers were not present in the home. Daughters who grew up with nonresidential fathers may exhibit some symptoms of children with divorced parents. Daughters may manifest low self-esteem, have problems sustaining relationships, facing academic problems, and dealing with father hunger. There is a gap in the literature when dealing with African American fathers and the relationships they have had with their daughters. Some available research deals with incest within the father-daughter relationship. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore African American daughters' perceptions of how their fathers' absences have affected their life experiences. Twenty-two participants gave a detailed and in-depth account of the relationships with their nonresidential fathers. The semi-structured interviews produced data that were coded and analyzed. As a result of their experiences, six themes emerged from the data: (1) abandonment/rejection, (2) validation/approval, (3) independence, (4) strained relationships, (5) self-esteem/identity, and (6) communication. Each of these themes provided information on the effects on the lives of African American women, when raised in a home with a nonresidential father, and on their adult relationships. In their experiences with a nonresidential father, the African American daughter felt the need to protect their fathers, regardless of their relationships. The implications for counselors, practitioners, and for the field, are discussed and recommendations for future research are provided.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lack of research about “Black fathers” and their “involvement with schools” was the primary motivation for this “mixed method” dissertation study. This discourse provides a much needed account of what the nature is of Black father's involvement with schools, why and how they do it, and how “student performance” is influenced by Black fathers' engagement with schools. Stakeholders in the education of youth, parents, administrators, teachers, and the community whose work is concerned with Black education may learn from the results and not repeat past errors of prevailing notions that portray Black fathers as absent and uninvolved in their children's educational endeavors. One of the goals of the present study was to address current ideology by demystifying the notion of African American fathers and their participation in “homes and educational settings” from uninvolved and non-concerned to active, engaged, and involved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too many Black Americans live in neighborhoods that are filled with gun violence, dysfunctional and abusive families, and children with deficient academic and behavioral skills. Instead of engaging in an open-minded search for solutions, too many pundits and politicians are content to point their fingers at systemic racism, while dismissing individual effort and traditional measures of merit as part and parcel of a system that is irredeemably broken. In The State of the Black Family, the economist Robert Cherry presents a blueprint for a robust set of policies that can break the cycle of intergenerational poverty and move these families forward by providing direct family support, practical educational approaches, housing policies to reinvigorate neighborhoods, and on-ramps to higher-paying jobs—an approach that enjoyed a broad consensus before leftwing social justice themes hijacked the conversation.

Book excerpt: A thoughtful and "utterly mind-blowing" exploration of fatherhood and masculinity in the 21st century (New York Times). There are hundreds of books on parenting, and with good reason—becoming a parent is scary, difficult, and life-changing. But when it comes to books about parenting identity, rather than the nuts and bolts of raising children, nearly all are about what it's like to be a mother. Drawing on research in sociology, economics, philosophy, gender studies, and the author's own experiences, Father Figure sets out to fill that gap. It's an exploration of the psychology of fatherhood from an archetypal perspective as well as a cultural history that challenges familiar assumptions about the origins of so-called traditional parenting roles. What paradoxes and contradictions are inherent in our common understanding of dads? Might it be time to rethink some aspects of fatherhood? Gender norms are changing, and old economic models are facing disruption. As a result, parenthood and family life are undergoing an existential transformation. And yet, the narratives and images of dads available to us are wholly inadequate for this transition. Victorian and Industrial Age tropes about fathers not only dominate the media, but also contour most people's lived experience. Father Figure offers a badly needed update to our collective understanding of fatherhood—and masculinity in general. It teaches dads how to embrace the joys of fathering while guiding them toward an image of manliness for the modern world.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
