Race is a social construction rather than a…

Black Nature contains one hundred and eighty poems by ninety-three authors, ranging from Phillis Wheatley to some of the youngest poets of our own era: Ross Gay, Sean Hill, Kamilah Aisha Moon, and Stephanie Pruitt. It is, as Dungy points out, “the first collection of American nature writing that focuses on poetry …
Papa Was a Rolling Stone and I Am Too: Paternal Caregiving and Its Influence on the Sexual Behavior of Low-Income African American Men
This study focuses on the relationship between the level of paternal caregiving received as a child and its influence on the development of personal attachment style as adults, and whether or not the affected child experiences monogamy. To test this relationship, a sample of 266 low-income, African American males between the ages of 16 and 78, recruited from an inner-city sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic in the Southeast, are analyzed. M…
