Editorial Reviews

Toliver (sociology and women's studies, Iona College, New Rochelle, New York) draws on studies of some 200 black corporate managers and their families to show that while middle-class black families have progressed in corporate America, access remains uneven. Emphasis is placed on shifting gender dynamics within the middle-class black families, changes in parenting approaches, and family strengths and stresses.
