Black Male-Female Suicide: A Case Study of Occupation and Rates of Suicide by Race and Sex.
Taylor, Maurice C.
Western Journal of Black Studies, v6 n3 p124-30 Fall 1982
Examines effects of labor force participation on Black and White suicide. Criticizes theories that focus on fatalism and erosion of the Black family and suggests that occupation, the same factor that accounts for White male suicide rates, contributes heavily to an explanation of Black male and female suicide rates.
