The purpose of this book is to examine the fundamental causes that have persisted in keeping Black America in generational poverty. Generational poverty is defined as a family having lived in poverty for at least two generations, and the Black community in the United States has been poor for more than two generations at least. Many sociologists, economists, and historians have argued that generational poverty is due to the legacy of slavery and racism. This book argues that racism and the legacy of slavery are not the fundamental causes of generational poverty in the Black community but rather the counterproductive and pernicious habits that Black Americans embraced as a culture. This book engages in empirical research to deepen our understanding of the economic and social upheavals that keep Black America in a cycle of perpetual poverty. Although this book is the product of scientific research, it is designed for a general audience as well as an academic audience.
