Book SynopsisPreventing Child Maltreatment: Multicultural Considerations in the United States is the first book in a concentrated series that examines child maltreatment across minoritized, cultural groups. Specifically, this volume examines core multicultural concepts (e.g., intersectionality, acculturation, spirituality, oppression) as they relate to child maltreatment in the United States, while the other books take a closer look at particular ethnic or racial communities in this country. Additionally, this book examines child maltreatment through the intersection of feminist, multicultural, and prevention/wellness promotion lenses. Recommendations for treatment in each book build on a foundation of prevention and wellness promotion, along with multicultural and feminist theories. Throughout this book, five case studies, which are introduced in Chapter One, are revisited to help the readers make important and meaningful connections between theory and practice.Trade Review"This book applies an essential multicultural lens as well as a feminist perspective to our understanding of the definitions and contextual origins of child maltreatment in order to inform prevention efforts. The strengths-based and culturally informed approach to the difficult topic of child maltreatment taken by the authors of this volume make it essential reading for anyone working in the area of child welfare." -- Elizabeth Gershoff * co-editor of Ending the Physical Punishment of Children: A Guide for Clinicians and Practitioners *"This book is thought-provoking, full of relevant and contemporary research and innovation, and a call to action. Clinicians, educators, policy-makers, and prevention and treatment specialists will benefit from this summary of variables gleaned through experience, exploration, and study. History evolves and mutates, and this book truly reflects lessons learned from past mistakes, while offering alternative concepts and approaches.

Rutgers University Press Preventing Child Maltreatment in the U.S.: The
Book SynopsisThis 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. Trade Review"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." -- Megan Finno-Velasquez * Associate Professor and Director of the Center on Immigration and Child Welfare, New Mexico State University *"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." -- Jodi Berger Cardoso * Associate Professor of Social Work, University of Houston *"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.
