If you have been looking
for a single source which deals with these and related controversial questions
from a black perspective, then this book may be the book for you. For between
its covers, THE DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY OF THE BLACK CHILD, the first of
a UBCS series of books dealing with the growth, development, and education
of the black child; the firstr book which deals exclusively with the physical
and psychosocial development of the black child, in a scholarly but readily
understandable way, forthrightly confronts these and other issues. The seminal
and thought-provoking book goes beyond other such attempts of this typw
in a variety of ways: (1) It presents many little known facts and surprising
details about the development of the black child. (2) It presents an honest,
poignant, spirited and in-depth description of the world of the black child
from conception to school age. (3) It explores in a unique way the world
of the black parent. And (4) it tenaciously pursues the implications of
the issues it deals with and makes positive recommendations for evaluating
them.
