Book synopsis

The 'mixed race'§classification is known to be a factor of disadvantage in children's social§care and this fastest growing population is more likely than any other ethnic§group to experience care admission. How does knowledge of 'mixedness' underpin§policy and practice? How, when and why is the classification 'mixed' a§disadvantage? Through narrative interviews with children currently in foster§care, Fostering Mixed Race Children examines the impact§of care processes on children's everyday experiences. Peters shows how the§'mixed race' classification affects care admission, including both short and long§term fostering and care leaving, and shapes the experiences of children in§often adverse ways. The book moves away from the psychologising of 'mixedness'§towards a much-needed sociological analysis of 'mixedness' and 'mixing' at the§intersection of foster care processes.§§This book will be of interest§to academics and practitioners working with families and children.§Peters presents a child-centred narrative focus and offers unique insights§into a complex area.§
