What's Love Got to Do With It?

Donna L. Franklin, Donna Franklin

"Donna Franklin provides an analysis of the gender tensions that are a common legacy of slavery and its aftermath. It is these tensions, she says, that are eroding the ability of black men and women to work jointly in the struggle for social equality." "Most important, What's Love Got to Do with It? directs readers to a path for healing. Franklin explains how the skills black women have developed to be strong and self-sufficient can also be used to nurture their relationships."--BOOK JACKET.
