About: Based on the first major study of black grandmothers who, as a consequence of the cocaine epidemic, raise young grandchildren, this volume examines: the social and cultural contexts within which grandparent caregiving takes place; the roles and responsibilities of grandparents; how the role of caregiver changes their lives; the cost of caregiving in terms of health, economics and employment; and the role of social support networks.
