From
Actress Sanaa Lathan to Georgia State Supreme Court Chief Justice
Leah Ward Sears, many African-American women attribute much of
their success to a positive father figure.
In Daughters of Men,
author Rachel Vassel has complied dozens of stunning photographs
(by celebrity photographer Derek Blanks) and compelling personal essays about African- American women and
their fathers. Whether it's a father who encouraged his
daughter's artistic eye by taking her to cultural events or one
who unwaveringly supported a risky career move, the fathers in Daughters
of Men each had their own unique yet successful style of
parenting.
Daughters of Men
is the first title to
showcase the importance of the Black father's impact on the
accomplishments of his daughter. With a heartfelt foreword
by best-selling author, professor and radio host Michael Eric
Dyson, this book provides an intimate
look at black fatherhood.
