      abstract = {"How does one go about shifting the psychology of a people  whose sense of worth, purpose, and potential have been  denigrated and disenfranchised for decades? What specific  factors conspire to douse African American children's  dreams before they reach adolescence? And what can we learn  from African American families determined to help their  children beat the odds and succeed? This unique two-volume  set examines the forces affecting psychological development  and achievement motivation in African American children  today. These books address the current political, global,  economic, and social contexts as they impact African  American families and tackle the tough issues of genes,  environment, and race. Experts from leading universities,  research institutes, federal agencies, and nonprofit  organizations discuss factors such as parenting beliefs and  practices, peer influences, school and community  environments, racial profiling, race and ethnicity,  spirituality, and immigrant status."--Back cover.},
