"African-American Children at Church provides a rich description of child rearing in a Black community in the western United States. Based upon an extensive, naturalistic study of adult-child interaction, the book describes the beliefs and child-rearing practices of successful African-American adults, focusing on the role of religion in children's development."--Ebook Library.
