OverviewKenneth Maurice Tyler identifies and describes the multiple identity components of young African American men using theoretical and empirical literatures from education and the social sciences. Identity and African American Men: Exploring the Content of Our Characterization provides a comprehensive, research-based account of the ideologies and mindsets of many young African American men. The book critically discusses eight identity components that young African American men begin to negotiate during their adolescent years. These identity components include gender, sexual, racial, ethnic, cultural, socioeconomic, athletic, and academic identity. Identity and African American Men makes a unique contribution to the literature by offering a conceptual framework that identifies the multiple identity components possessed by young African American men. Such a framework expands the conversation about African American men and their behaviors by broadening the understanding of who these individuals are, the identities they possess, and how their identity-based attitudes and orientations may influence the behaviors exhibited by them.

The book is written not just with passion, but with a meaningful balance of passion and authority.

Tyler’s contribution offers a rare blend of deep, transformative scholarship and a common touch necessary in redefining Black men beyond pathological experiences too often misunderstood as default African American male identities. Tyler is a fresh voice in a crucial dialog. -- David Wall Rice, Morehouse College Identity and African American Men is a must-read for anyone raising, teaching, or impacting the lives of African American males. It pushes one to dissect the racial issues faced daily by African American men. Kenneth Maurice Tyler’s review of Trayvon Martin and the disparities faced in his short lifespan provides a sophisticated awareness to a problem of racial profiling that has plagued the African American community for decades. Tyler’s conceptual model of the male identity uniquely links African American traditions and values while providing insight to the core of the African American male. Tyler challenges us to do more than continue to write and talk, but to do something about changing this ever-present phenomena. -- Monica L.
