|
Dr. Tara T. Green recently published A Fatherless Child: Autobiographical Perspectives of African American Men with the University of Missouri Press. The book examines the impact of fatherlessness on racial and identity formation as seen in black men's autobiographies and in other constructions of black fatherhood in fiction. She closely examines Langston Hughes's The Big Sea, Richard Wright's Black Boy, Malcolm X's The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and Barack Obama's Dreams from My Father. By showing us four black men of different eras, Green asks readers to consider how much any child can heal from fatherlessness to construct a positive self-image -- and shows that, contrary to popular perceptions, fatherlessness need not lead to certain failure.
