From the Soul: Stories of Great Black Parents and the Lives They Gave Us (Hardcover) by Phyllis Y Harris

9780399147067. New condition. Hard cover. Language: English. Pages: 288. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. With dust jacket. 288 p. Harris's book cuts away the long-held stereotype that African Americans can't parent. Instead, she shows what blacks already know--that the black family has been a source of enormous resilience, support, and understanding through difficult times, and that black families have survived because they have known how to use the most powerful defense against a harsh environment--familial love.
