With emphasis on the importance of culture in understanding behaviour, this book provides accessible descriptions of concepts and research specifically relevant to African American culture. New to the Second Edition: - Updated literature and research, updated chapter-opening news stories, and updated descriptive and demographic information. - A new Critical Analyses section in each chapter that present the authors' critical perspective on the work presented within the chapter. - A new chapter on Race and Racism - A new chapter on Careers, Vocations, and Employment - An expansion of the chapter on aggression, violence, and crime to contrast that material with pro-social behavior such as volunteerism and philanthropy. - A "Conclusions and Future Directions" chapter ends the text, offering directions for students' future research.
