Review
“Dr. Dixon’s second edition is a state of the art masterpiece on African American relationships, marriages and families for teachers, researchers, and clinicians. Thoroughly researched, the author explains current phenomena through a historical cultural lens. While the purpose of the book is to be used as a tool for pre-marriage education and counseling, it is a must read for all who would understand African American Relationships.”
–-David Knox, Ph.D. professor, East Carolina University & co-author of Choices in Relationships.

African American Male/Female Relationships
African American Male/Female Relationships: A Reader examines the social, economic, political, and cultural forces that present challenges to the formation and development of healthy relationships and, ultimately, marriages and families. The anthology pushes students to think critically about how ideologies and values stemming from these forces shape their own ideas, values, and perceptions and to examine their own approach to relationships. The text is divided into eleven topical units:
- Love
- Gender
- Dating
- Negative Images and Stereotypes
- Health and Nutrition
- Intimate Partner Violence
- Parenting
- Sexuality/Sexual Health
- Incarceration
- Alternative Lifestyles
- Marriage
The journal articles and book chapters included in the reader are critical for the serious study of African American male-female relationships.
African American Male/Female Relationships: A Reader is designed to be used with African American Relationships, Marriages, and Families: An Introduction. It is also an excellent supplemental reader for Sociology or African American Studies courses that focus on marriage and family.
