The Impact of Father Absence on African American Boys (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781700090782)

Growing up without a father can cause deep wounds that last a lifetime. For African American boys, the wounds can affect how they see themselves and the world around them. If the emotional scars are not addressed father-absent boys are at greater risk for dropping out of school, incarceration and becoming absent fathers as well. In this book, Dr. Hassell shares 25 years of experience in helping African American men and boys heal from the wounds of father absence. He outlines the five critical risk factors for father-absent boys and how systems of power perpetuate generational father absence in the black community. This book goes beyond analyzing the problem. It identifies powerful strategies to heal and empower father-absent men, boys, and the African American family.
