Designed for students of
social work, public policy, ethnic studies, community development,
and migration studies, Immigrant and Refugee Children and Families
provides the best knowledge for culturally responsive practice with
immigrant children, adolescents, and families. This textbook
summarizes the unique circumstances of Asian/Pacific Islander,
Latino, South Asian, African, and Middle Eastern immigrant and
refugee populations and the challenges faced by the social service
systems, including child welfare, juvenile justice, education,
health, and mental health care, that attempt to serve them. Each
chapter features key terms, study questions, and resource lists, and
the book meets many Council on Social Work Education Educational
Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) competencies. The book
addresses the policy landscape affecting immigrant and refugee
children in the United States, and a final section examines current
and future approaches to advocacy.
