Overview
This volume examines special issues associated with providing services and guidance to African American men. Although this group of men is like any other in its struggle with its social and economic problems, African American men experience a higher rate of murder, imprisonment, unemployment and racism. The contributors to this book provide a broad, interdisciplinary view of the possible solutions to the different problems facing African American men.

An interdisciplinary collection of 23 essays detailing methods with which social service agencies can be of the greatest help to African American males. Divided into sections on health; mental health; education; familial relations; gangs, risky behavior, and delinquency; and employment and economic security, the articles emphasize the importance of African American culture and institutions, the economic environment, and client reliance on informal helping networks.
