African American grief vs Emotionally intelligent parenting

African American grief

Paul C. Rosenblatt

2005

African American Grief is a unique contribution to the field, both as a professional resource for counselors, therapists, social workers, clergy, and nurses, and as a reference volume for thanatologists, academics, and researchers. The classic edition includes a new preface from the authors reflecting on their work and on the changes in society and the field since the book’s initial publication. This work considers the potential effects of slavery, racism, and white ignorance and oppression on the African American experience and conception of death and grief in America. Based on interviews with 26 African Americans who have faced the death of a significant person in their lives, the authors document, describe, and analyze key phenomena of the unique African American experience of grief. The book combines moving narratives from the interviewees with sound research, analysis, and theoretical discussion of important issues in thanatology, as well as topics such as the influence of the African American church, gospel music, family grief, medical racism as a cause of death, and discrimination during life and after death.

Daniel Goleman's bestseller Emotional Intelligence opened a new way of thinking about the skills necessary for meeting life's challenges. Expanding on the insights brought to light by the same research project, this book presents parents with many practical, realistic ways to help children develop the qualities of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, control of impulsive behaviour, co-operative work habits, care for themselves, and sympathy for others.
