How to Love a Black Woman

September 1, 1998
Following his best-selling How To Love a Black Man (Warner, 1996), Elmore now speaks to men in a straightforward manner about how to have a truly loving and mutually satisfying relationship with the black women they love. Based on his experience as a psychotherapist, ordained minister, couples counselor, and husband, Elmore translates the needs and desires of black women into a language men will understand. He points out the advantages of men "rolling up their sleeves" and truly working for a love that is balanced, as well as the disadvantages of failing to do so. Well organized and written in a light, humorous tone, the book includes clear and practical ways for earning a black woman's everlasting love, respect, and admiration. Its audience shouldn't be limited to black men who love or want to love black women--it can be helpful to men of all races. Highly recommended for all public libraries and psychology collections.--Demetria A. Harvin, Bronx, NY
