14) From the Soul : Stories of Great Black Parents and the Lives They Gave Us
Harris, Phyllis Y

From the Soul : Stories of Great Black Parents and the Lives They Gave Us
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers, 2002. From Publishers Weekly: - Former children's advocate Harris believes that the black family is the most "maligned institution in America"; her response is this collection of 10 moving tributes to parents from their successful and grateful children, a "thank-you card" to black mothers and fathers and a celebration of familial love and sacrifice. In "A Time for All Things," a physician recalls her widowed father's extraordinary will in raising his five children alone, juggling jobs as a carpenter and a minister. Even in the face of spiritual struggle in the segregated South, Rev. Isaiah Derius Bagwell taught his children grace and strength. "No one can ride your back unless it's bent," he'd say. The narrator of "The Way Things Were" recounts a story of personal and political struggle in Swaziland, Mozambique and South Africa: Phola's parents were ANC freedom fighters forced to spend much of their lives in exile. While they were fierce in their attacks on the racist South African government, Phola also witnessed the tenderness of their love for each other. The tales are honest reflections on black families, "warts and all," as the powerful, complicated, sustaining institutions they are. Harris's idea is bold, and the outcome is beautiful. This is a quiet and powerful response to those who would venture to say that the solid black family unit doesn't exist.. ISBN: 0399147063. Like new-- Remainder Mark. Hard Cover. As New/Fine.

30) The Value of Family: A Blueprint for the 21st Century
Westheimer, Ruth; Yagoda, Ben

The Value of Family: A Blueprint for the 21st Century
Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.: Warner Books Inc, 1996. From Booklist: - Westheimer's name is synonymous with sex, but here she takes that subject to its next logical step--family. Beginning with a summary of her own family life (adored only child; orphan of the Holocaust; single mother; two-time divorcee; and longtime wife), Westheimer goes on to discuss the state of the American family (not great) and what can be done to improve it (quite a lot). Although much of the ground covered here is familiar, Westheimer's directness and common sense overcomes the tiredness of her material. She's quick to nail those who verbally promote family values (like government officials and corporate spokespersons) while making family life ever more difficult with restrictive laws and antifamily policies. On the other hand, she readily gives a round of applause to organizations and individuals who are actually doing something to keep the American family on track (megabusinessman Walter Annenberg, for example, who donated hundreds of millions of dollars to schools). Westheimer also gives direct, useful suggestions for improving the quality of family life, and even though readers may have heard those suggestions many times before, perhaps they'll listen because it's Dr. Ruth talking..
