An up-to-date and in-depth guide for dealing
with teenage fathers, this volume provides a
framework for responding to not only the general
but also the culturally specific needs of any
given unwed teen father. Offering perceptive
solutions, the author significantly contributes
to the existing literature on how to help teenage
men who face unplanned, out-of-wedlock fatherhood
by providing clear and concise guidance within
the web of legal, family and personal issues
surrounding teenage fatherhood.
The book examines the role of the teenage
father's relationships -- to his parents, his
child, the mother of his child and her parents,
and his peers -- as they relate to his adjustment
and changing worldview. While sensitive to
cultural considerations, Multicultural
Counseling with Teenage Fathers illuminates
ways in which to encourage teenage fathers to
take control of their lives and act responsibly
regardless of cultural background.

With passion and precision, author John Edgar
Wideman examines the tragedy of race and the gulf
it cleaves between black fathers and their sons.
And in looking into that gulf -- in viewing
himself as both son and father -- our foremost
artist of the urban black world takes a giant
step outside the racial paradigm, in a work that
is at once an autobiography and an indictment, a
lament and a ringing song of praise.
On one level, Fatheralong is the story
of Wideman's search for a moment of connection
with his remote father, a search that takes him
from Pittsburgh to a South Carolina hamlet called
Promised Land. But this searing, lyrical book is
also a reckoning with the devastation of black
neighborhoods, the vicissitudes of family life,
and Wideman's grief for his own lost son. Above
all, it is a grandly ambitious reckoning with
race in the tradition of the classics of Richard
Wright and Malcolm X.
