The Black Family and Community: Some Problems in the Development of Achievement Values.
Irvine, Russell W.
Negro Educational Review, v29 n3-4 p249-54 Jul-Oct 1978, 78
There is an incongruence of the achievement orientation, on the one hand, and the culture of Black people, on the other. The dichotomy is essentially between the requirements of achievement, which stress individual effort, and features of Black culture, which stress corporate initiative and effort. (Author/EB)
