Shattered Bonds: The Color of Child Welfare
Dorothy Roberts
The first book in 30 years to consider the devastating social consequences of the overwhelming numbers of black children in the child-welfare system.
The story of foster care in the United States is the story of the failure of the social safety net to aid poor, largely black, parents in their attempt to make a home for their children. Shattered Bonds tells this story as no other book has before-from the perspective of a prominent black, female legal theoretician.
