Book Synopsis
In this revised and expanded, 21 educators call attention to racial disparities in the child welfare system by demonstrating how practices that are successful for white children are often not similarly successful for African American children.

Trade Review
Anyone who is interested in understanding and improving the plight of African American children in the child welfare system should read this book. . . . The authors skillfully explain important details about African American culture and suggest ways in which child welfare services can incorporate this information. -- Evelyn K. Moore * executive director, National Black Child Development Institute *
This eclectic collection inevitably will become the definitive source for understanding the Africentric perspective and its application to child welfare. * CHOICE *
