In 51 visually stunning, emotionally compelling portraits, acclaimed photographer Ross presents a hopeful, heartwarming, and caring view of black fatherhood in the United States. This description may be from another edition of this product.
"Pop, A Celebration of Black Fatherhood" is the only book on my coffee table. Once I stacked several. Now, I want my guests to focus on the beautiful photography of one book, hence, "Pop." Carol Ross expresses her creativity in photography, not as a writer/ author. Because we, as people of color, are judged, initially and sometimes solely, by our physical appearance, I find the phtographs a powerful tool against the stereotype of our men. I have commented on this point at another review.

We gave this book to one of our son-in-laws for Father's Day. He loved it. The individual stories of each father are so compelling. The photos are beautiful.

My brother-in-law had this book on his coffee table. He told me that his friend was in the book with his children. I read the book and liked what the fathers had to say. It was very positive and loving. I think every father should have a copy of this book to become inspired by these father's examples.
Dispels Myth that Black Men don't raise their children

Carol Ross has done her part with this work which is a valuable, necessary and fantastic contribution to American culture. The book showcases photos of many black fathers with their black or mixed-race children in their everyday existence...doing their part to raise their children. An added bonus: reading the compelling and sometimes gripping account from each father profiled explaining what being a dad means to them.
