Descriere
Latinos
are
now
the
largest
ethnic
minority
population
in
the
United
States
and
still
they
encounter
a
great
deal
of
misunderstanding,
prejudice,
and
discrimination.
Utilizing
a
strengths-based
perspective,
Social
Work
Practice
with
Latinos
addresses
the
unique
needs
of
this
diverse
population.
Written
by
practitioners
and
scholars
from
many
disciplines,
this
book
discusses
social
issues
of
consequence
to
Latinos
and
specific
strengths
and
risk
factors
of
the
Latino
community.
They
then
offer
methods
that
utilize
these
strengths
to
ensure
a
culturally-competent
approach
to
practice
with
Latino
populations.
Each
chapter
is
accompanied
by
key
questions
for
personal
and
group
reflection
to
facilitate
discussion
and
understanding
of
these
vital
themes.
The
editors
have
nearly
three
decades
of
combined
experience
working
with
Latino
populations
inside
and
outside
the
United
States.
Drawing
on
this
experience,
they
integrate
these
varied
perspectives
to
prepare
students
and
practitioners
for
practice
with
this
richly
diverse
community.
