LGBT Psychology
Research Perspectives And People of African Descent
Michele Lewis; Isiah Marshall
Same-sex attracted, and non-gender conforming African-Americans are substantial in number, yet underrepresented in the social and behavioral science literature. This volume addresses the issues of African-American LGBT psychology as a case of indigenous psychology. The authors present the research of scholars who are developing theory, practice, and services that are couched within the specific cultural complexities of this population. Some key topics addressed in AFrican-American Issues in LGBT Psychology are gender, spirituality, family, racism, ‘coming out’, generational differences, health and safety issues, urban vs. rural realities, and implications for researchers.
