The Africana Concept of Helping by Gerald G. Jackson Pdf
This work presents the theoretical dimension of three decades of research on African derived concepts of helping, and is a companion of the book, An Africentric Paradigm of Helping. This book presents the application dimension to the subjects of training, substance abuse, ethnicity, workforce diversity, and time. Present plans call for a collaborative effort of scholars to conduct symposia on this field and a publication of a collection that brings to readers the fruits of future investigations. This book, therefore, is one foundation of a series of publications and events to serve the needs of practitioners, researchers, scholars and students. It will assist African-Americans in their diunital return to their African extended-self, and serve ultimately as testimony to others on how a racially discriminated against group can foster gains for humanity.
