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.
