"A Denene Millner book."
Birthing while black: the journey to motherhood -- New motherhood -- Raising them up: the nuts and bolts of parenting black children -- Behind the lights: loosening pop culture's hold on black children -- Hair stories: the joys, pains, and politics of black children's kinky curls -- The souls of black folks: parenting beyond stereotypes -- They'll wear the armor: black children and racism -- The martyrs: on black children, race, and lives that mattered -- My brown baby matters: the politics of raising black children -- Mother love.
"Full of essays that readers of all backgrounds will find provocative, My Brown Baby acknowledges that there absolutely are issues that African American parents must deal with that white parents never have to confront if they're not raising brown children. This book chronicles these differences with open arms, a lot of love, and the deep belief that though we may come from separate places and have different backgrounds, all parents want the same things for our families, and especially for our children."--Back cover.
