Short description:
Black boys and youth face significant risks to their physical and emotional health as a consequence of racism and poverty. Some are able to be resilient in the face of such adversity, while some boys don't have the supports to overcome these struggles. This book investigates the factors that lead some Black boys to succumb to those obstacles, while others succeed. It offers guidance on what families, schools and communities can do to increase the likelihood of emotional resilience in Black boys and youth.
MoreLong description:
Racism and poverty cause unspeakable hardship and pain for Black boys and youth. After following a typical pattern of development in early childhood, this pain comes to the surface and is reflected in misbehavior that masks sadness, fear, and anger. This misbehavior traditionally begins with minor infractions and rule-breaking and can escalate over time to more serious transgressions. Furthermore, because of adversity and adultification, Black boys appear to grow up too fast and lose a presumption of innocence that is accorded to most groups of children. Additionally, their capacity to navigate adversity and alleviate emotional pain is impeded by a hyper-masculine socialization, which instructs them to suppress pain and conceal emotions not only from others but often from themselves.
In Emotional Resilience in Black Boys, Oscar A. Barbarin offers insight as to why some Black boys succumb to this pain while others are able to overcome it. Barbarin examines this central question and provides strategies for what families, schools and communities can do to increase the likelihood of emotional resilience, specifically by embracing social assets which foster self-awareness, social awareness, and social control. Chapters highlight the benefits of affirmation and support, control structures that rein in problematic behavior through limit-setting and correcting misbehavior; and interpretive frameworks that instill cultural and spiritual values, personal efficacy, preparation for racism, and positive racial identities. Barbarin reveals how with the support of concerned adults in their homes, schools, and communities, Black boys can acquire the necessary tools to cope with loss, mitigate the impact of racism, and cultivate the social competencies that allow them to flourish.
