Download or read book Fostering Mixed Race Children written by Fiona Peters and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-13 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ‘mixed race’ classification is known to be a factor of disadvantage in children’s social care and this fastest growing population is more likely than any other ethnic group to experience care admission. How does knowledge of ‘mixedness’ underpin policy and practice? How, when and why is the classification ‘mixed’ a disadvantage? Through narrative interviews with children currently in foster care, Fostering Mixed Race Children examines the impact of care processes on children’s everyday experiences. Peters shows how the ‘mixed race’ classification affects care admission, including both short and long term fostering and care leaving, and shapes the experiences of children in often adverse ways. The book moves away from the psychologising of ‘mixedness’ towards a much-needed sociological analysis of ‘mixedness’ and ‘mixing’ at the intersection of foster care processes. This book will be of interest to academics and practitioners working with families and children. Peters presents a child-centred narrative focus and offers unique insights into a complex area.

Download or read book Working with Children of Mixed Parentage written by Toyin Okitikpi and published by Russell House Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2005 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This uniquely important new book asks fundamental questions about professional practice that views society as a binary world in which children can be only 'Black' or 'White'. It questions social workers' and others' assumptions about children of mixed parentage, and challenges simplistic understandings of race, ethnicity and culture. It advocates a more complex understanding of the issues - one rooted in the lived experience of the children and families who are the subjects of social intervention. Rather than viewing these children and young people as victims of confusion and uncertainty, this important book identifies the ethnic and cultural diversity to which these youngsters are heir as the basis upon which effective practice must be built.Working with children of mixed parentage explores: The influence of the 'one-drop' rule (one drop of black blood renders a person black), on professional practice in social welfare; The experiences of white mothers of children of mixed parentage; The social impact of the increasing number of interracial relationships and children of mixed parentage in Britain; The social and psychological development of children of mixed parentage; A new paradigm for direct work with the children and young people of mixed parentage and their families; The permanent family placement experience of children of mixed parentage The contributors are at the forefront of developments in this contentious field. Working with children of mixed parentage has been written with practitioners, students, service managers and academics in mind. It is an invaluable source for those genuinely interested in developing improved practice with children of mixed parentage and their families.
