- W129747102 abstract "SOCIAL WORK WITH AFRICAN AMERICAN MALES: HEALTH, MENTAL HEALTH AND SOCIAL POLICY, edited by Waldo E. Johnson. New York: Oxford University Press, 2010. 360 pp. African American males as a demographic group face unparalleled rates of premature mortality, incarceration, homicide, HIV /AIDS and many other illnesses. In addition, this group suffers high rates of unemployment, underemployment, educational failure and many other barriers to economic opportunity. Causes of all of these problems are rooted deeply in the very structure of our society.

Another critically important matter facing African American males, that of educational underachievement, is addressed by Reginald Clark et al. in their report on the demonstrable positive effects of after-school programs for African American males on their development and educational progress.
