In \u003cem\u003eWhat's Love Got to Do with It?\u003c\/em\u003e Donna Franklin, one of the country's leading African American sociologists, speaks out on these painful, complex issues, providing an incisive and riveting analysis of the gender tensions that are the legacy of slavery and its aftermath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eFranklin breaks new ground in explaining why black men and women have trouble relating to each other, and examines their profoundly different starting points, which are influenced by generations of racism and injustice.
