Preventing Child Maltreatment in the U.S.: The Black Community Perspective
"Phillips, Moore-Lobban, and Fuentes splendidly deliver a detailed and excellent conversation regarding the maltreatment of Black young bodies in the US. Their holistic lens truly captures the barriers and systems of oppression that impact these youths, and their approach to the topic is rooted in cultural humility. This approach, if used properly, could lead to both a better understanding of the dynamics involved in US Black child maltreatment, and a decrease in the number of Black youths mistreated."
Terence Fitzgerald, author of Black Males and Racism: Improving the Schooling and Life Chances of African Americans

"Practical and comprehensive, this is an invaluable resource for the child welfare community and all human service professionals. The causes, effects, and prevention efforts associated with maltreatment of Black children are meticulously addressed. Historical underpinnings and social structures that speak to unique challenges Black families face, and strengths inherent within the Black community are appropriately chronicled. With this book, the authors make a significant contribution to the literature base."
