Preventing Child Maltreatment in the U.S.: The Latinx Community Perspective: Violence Against Women and Children
Autor Esther J. Calzada, Monica Faulkner, Catherine LaBrenz, Milton A Fuentesen Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 sep 2022 – vârsta ani
This book is part of a concentrated series of books that examines child maltreatment across cultural groups. Specifically, this volume examines core concepts relevant to Latinx families (e.g., familismo, acculturation, spirituality, oppression) as they relate to child maltreatment in the United States. While there are vast differences across Latinx families, authors use critical race and feminist theories to explore the impact of differences based on gender, race, immigration status, and country of origin. The book begins by contextualizing child maltreatment in Latinx families within the pervasive structural racism and inequality in the United States and addressing unique traumas experienced by Latinx families resulting from that inequity. Subsequent chapters address prevention of child maltreatment, responses to maltreatment and healing from trauma with an emphasis on resilience within the Latinx community. Three case studies are used to illustrate and apply concepts from each chapter.

Recenzii
"A refreshing and nuanced perspective that debunks colonialist narratives on child maltreatment and centers cultural context in discourse on origins of and interventions for maltreatment, this book takes an intersectional approach in identifying challenges and recommending how to support safe, stable and nurturing parenting in an increasingly diverse U.S. population. A critical resource for practitioners, policy makers and researchers alike."
"This book provides an expansive and insightful account of the economic, political, social, and structural drivers of child maltreatment in the United States. Case studies, prevention strategies, and treatment and policy recommendations are grounded in a cultural perspective that highlights the strengths of Latinx children and families. This book is a key resource for students, educators, researchers, and practitioners across disciplines that focus on child protection, child well-being, and anti-oppressive practice and should be a required reading for anyone who works intimately in Latinx communities."
