This work considers the potential effects of slavery, racism, and white ignorance and oppression on the African American experience and conception of death and grief in America. Based on interviews with 26 African-Americans who have faced the death of a significant person in their lives, the authors document, describe, and analyze key phenomena of the unique African-American experience of grief. The book combines moving narratives from the interviewees with sound research, analysis, and theoretical discussion of important issues in thanatology as well as topics such as the influence of the African-American church, gospel music, family grief, medical racism as a cause of death, and discrimination during life and after death. 410 0$aSeries in death, dying, and bereavement. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xMental health 606 $aAfrican Americans$xPsychology 606 $aGrief$zUnited States 606 $aBereavement$zUnited States$xPsychological aspects 606 $aLoss (Psychology) 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xMental health. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xPsychology. 615 0$aGrief 615 0$aBereavement$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aLoss (Psychology) 676 $a155.9/37/08996073 700 $aRosenblatt$b Paul C$0998464 701 $aWallace$b Beverly R.$f1954-$01876047 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968055903321 996 $aAfrican American grief$94487405 997 $aUNINA
