The fatherless black family is a problem that grows to
bigger proportions every year as generations of black
children grow up without an adult male in their homes. Even
the minority of black men who do live with their children
often struggle with the role. As this dire pattern grows
worse, what can men do who hope to break it, when there are
so few models and so little guidance in their own homes and
communities? Where can they learn to "become Dad?" When Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Pitts-who himself grew
up with an abusive father whose absences came as a
relief-interviewed dozens of men across the country, he
found both discouragement and hope, as well as deep insights
into his own roles as son and father. An unflinching
investigation, both personal and journalistic, of black
fatherhood in America, this is the best, most pivotal book
on this profoundly important issue.
