"In his book, Mr. Cross presents the results of his close re-reading of the original data from the literature on black identity from 1939 to 1967. Almost without exception, he says, the scholars involved committed two significant errors: They drew conclusions about adult identity from the results of research among preschool-aged children. In addition, they used measures that assessed social attitudes—views about racial identity—but interpreted their findings as if they had also measured elements of personality, such as self-esteem and self-hatred."
—The Chronicle of Higher Education
"A major contribution to the scholarship on Black psychological identity.... Cross has carefully addressed this dominant thesis of psychology, and successfully brought it under a new scientific jurisdiction."
—James M. Jones, University of Delaware
"[Cross] is a respected scholar with a distinguished record. His credibility as an expert on 'Black Identity' is established. A book of this sort is long overdue."
—Walter R. Allen, UCLA
