Description

"Communication, Race and Family" takes a bold step by exploring how family communication influences the perennial and controversial topic of race. This volume argues that the hope for managing America's troubles with "race" lies not only with communicating about "race" at public meetings, at school and in the media, but also, and more fundamentally, with families communicating constructively about "race" at home. Home is where lessons about the merits of diversity and how to navigate diverse environments can be taught and lived. Home is where society's youngest members can be taught how to improve their competency in communicating with an increasingly ethnically diverse world. And finally in the words of Toni Morrison (1998, p.9), home can and should be "a site clear of racist detritus; a place where race both matters and is rendered impotent". African-American and European-American family communication researchers come together in this co-edited volume to explore: the diversity of theoretical and methodological approaches, how black families communicate to manage the "hot stove of racism", how black parent-child communication is used to manage the derogation of black children, the role of television in family communication about race, the similarities and differences between and among communication in black, white and biracial couples and families, and how family communication education can contribute to a brighter future.
