Reviews

"This bibliography is one of the most current on black American families. It is selective rather than exhaustive, has some annotations, and is intended to fill partially a void in published literature on this subject. Journal articles, books, dissertations, theses, government documents, and university publications are included.... The bibliography [is a] very good [guide] to information on the black family.... Upper-division and graduate collections"-Choice
Since the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, there has been a proliferation of research on the black American family. This book, number 16 in Bibliographies and Indexes in Afro-American Studies series, systematically catalogs and codifies the published research articles, books and book chapters, doctoral dissertations and master's theses, government publications, and university publications appearing on that topic between the years 1965 and 1984. Selective in nature, the bibliography lists 1,153 individual publication titles. While only 289 citations are annotated, all others are followed by broad topic categories and specific subject headings based on the content of the publication. A listing of the categories included in the classified index provides an indication of the subjects covered: Trends and Change in Marriage and Family, ' Organizations and Services to Families, ' Family Relationships and Dynamics, ' Mate Selection, ' Marriage and Divorce, ' Issues Related to Reproduction, ' Sexual Attitudes and Behavior, ' Families with Special Problems, ' Psychology and Sociology, ' Family Counseling and Education, ' Minority Groups, ' and Aids for Theory and Research. Most helpful for locating publications on specific topics is a keyword index with complete title listings. Undergraduates, research scholars, faculty, and others interested in research on this topic will find this volume useful and will look for future updates.-ARBA
