The Presentation of Minorities in Marriage and Family Textbooks.

Shaw-Taylor, Yoku; Benokraitis, Nijole V.

Teaching Sociology, v23 n2 p122-35 Apr 1995

Updates and extends a previous study of the portrayal of the black family in collegiate marriage and family textbooks. Examines 20 of the best-selling textbooks published between 1986 and 1980 for their portrayal of family life among four minority groups. Finds little attention paid to minority families and evidence of cultural bias. (CFR)
