Substance Abuse and the Black Family Crisis: An Overview.
Staples, Robert
Western Journal of Black Studies, v14 n4 p196-204 Win 1990
Substance abuse among U.S. Blacks is discussed as the concomitant of a chaotic, rapidly changing, and exploitative society. The impact on families and children of drug and alcohol use is viewed as a personal issue; however, it is a public issue because its causes lie in the social structure. (SLD)
