Shades of Black: Diversity in African American Identity

by William E. Cross and William E. Cross Jr.

Book Overview

Explodes the myth that self-hatred is the dominant theme in Black identity. This book, using a thorough review of social scientific literature on Negro identity conducted between 1936 and 1967, demonstrates that important themes of mental health and adaptive strength have been frequently overlooked by scholars, both Black and White.
