Black Studies (BLKS) - The Black Family and Male-Female Relationships
BLKS 321      The Black Family and Male-Female Relationships
This course examines the historical evolution and current status of the African American family in the United States. Utilizing the African experience as its starting point the course conveys a broad understanding of the role of the family in human survival and progress. We investigate such issues as male-female relationships, sexual practices, dating, marriage, single parenting, the education and socialization of children, and so on. We also examine an array of social and economic issues, including institutionalized inequality, that affects the viability of today's African American family.
