The book, Moms and Black Sons: A Comprehensive Study of Complex Love and Racial Animus, gives mothers of Black sons an outlet for their pain, anger, disappointment, and often encouragement, by simply responding to questions and telling their story. Sharlyn D. Williams, PhD, and Corlis R. Lewis, MA, MS, help mothers of Black sons explore and identify some fears they face each time their sons walk out the door. Women who bear witness to the collective challenges, struggles and barriers inherent in raising a Black son in America are invited to peer beneath the surface and give voice to the reality of those struggles in "The Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave." Moms and Black Sons was written to encourage all mothers seeking solace for their Black sons to embrace their truth as they energetically seek a remedy for their sons who continue to live in a world that has relegated them to the status of "persona non grata," wherein some Black males may require support to effectively navigate the daily challenges and struggles encountered while living in our current racist society This book demands our attention and is an invitation to explore your feelings and fears around complex love and racial animus.
