Gendered Power in Child Welfare

What's Care Got to Do with It?

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Christa Jane Moore and Patricia Gagné analyze the gendered power imposed on care workers struggling to meet the needs of vulnerable children in the child welfare system, arguing that reforms are needed that allow professionals to focus on care rather than efficiency and so families can be full partners in addressing their own needs.
