Huberta Jackson-Lowman is a professor in the Department of Psychology at Florida A&M University, where for fifteen years she has taught a course focusing on the psychology of Afrikan American women. In conjunction with colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh, she developed the first course on the psychological experiences of the Black female in the mid-1970s. With her students, she has studied the effects of endorsing engendered racial myths and stereotypes of Black women on Black interpersonal relationships and the mental health of Black women. In addition, she developed two inventories evaluating these behaviors.
Jackson-Lowman's book, Living at the Cross Roads of Race, Gender,
Class and Culture, will render guidance to all Afrikans, especially
women. Self knowledge and self-actualization will be enhanced
through knowledge of ancestral values, culture, ancestral heritage,
and spiritual world view." —Samella B. Abdullah, MSW, Ph.D.,

Psychologists
"(This anthology) presents a good, in-depth, and authentic
description and analysis of how Eurocentric cultural oppression has
affected Afrikan women in America psychologically, and documents
the variety of creative and multifaceted ways in which they have
responded to their predicament. Such a broadly focused perspective
has heretofore been sorely missing from the broad landscape of
social science analysis of the Afrikan experience." —Dr. Kobi
Kambon, Retired Professor of Psychology, Florida A&M University
and Past President of the Association of Black Psychologists
