Ascension: The Sociology of an African American Family’s Generational Journey by Lois Benjamin
“A captivating, nearly century-long story . . . that will serve as a methodological and theoretical anchor for other scholars. Benjamin positions the James family as a case study for understanding social reproduction of values. A significant contribution to the field.”—Candice Robinson, University of North Carolina Wilmington
“To disrupt long-held beliefs about pathology in Black families, Benjamin uses scholarly literature to tell a beautiful story about the faith, values, and work ethic of one Black family in North Carolina. At times this book reads almost like a memoir, a testimony of love and respect.”—Earl Smith, University of Delaware
