A Research-Based Cultural Response to Connecting and Strengthening Families and Communities

This book is the creative response (social action) of the need for an Africentric program that empowers African/Black Americans families and communities.It is based upon Africentric approaches that focus on the adaptive and defensive functioning of African/Black Families through its cultural infrastructure. In no way is this study designed to place blame or foster hatred.It is designed to be a cultural knowledge base that fosters a greater understanding of African/Black people through the philosophical and psychological tenets of C-FACT (Churches-Families-And Communities-Together).
