Essay Excerpt

"I have no doubt that urban ghetto life and economic deprivation are necessary factors contributing to an explanation of the Afro-American problems of gender and family relations. But they cannot be sufficient. Something else must be at play. Something that runs deep into the peculiarities of the Afro-Americans’ own past. In search for it, we are inevitably led back to the centuries-long holocaust of slavery and what was its most devastating impact: the ethnocidal assault on gender roles, especially those of father and husband, leaving deep scars in the relations between Afro-American men and women."
