Abstract
This article presents the results of a study of Black family and childhood in a small Georgia community. It contains discussion of the functionality and organizational strength of the Black family and descriptions and analysis of observations of parent-child relations and childrearing practices. The author argues that indigenous culture rather than deprivation is the primary formative agent of Black behavior.
