Description
African American Grief offers a unique perspective on the complexities of grief in America. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the African American experience of death and bereavement, exploring how historical trauma and systemic racism shape individual and collective responses to loss.
Based on in-depth interviews with 26 African Americans who have experienced significant losses, the authors document and analyze key phenomena of this unique grief experience. The book combines personal narratives with sound research, analysis, and theoretical discussion of important issues in thanatology, including the influence of the African American church, gospel music, family grief, medical racism, and discrimination.
