Advancing Equity in Anti-Racist Child Welfare: Navigating the Intersection of Policy, Practice, and Research provides readers with a framework to address and transform the racially inequitable child welfare system. The text focuses on the historical and contemporary overrepresentation of African American children in foster care and the systemic barriers they face. It underscores the critical need for anti-racist principles in child welfare, equipping readers with the tools necessary for advocating systemic change and promoting justice. Featuring chapters written by a variety of experts in the field, the book addresses themes such as cultural competence and humility, equity in outcomes, anti-racist decision-making, transformational leadership, and intersectionality. It is organized into four sections covering professionalization, policy advocacy, practice in urban child welfare, and challenges and opportunities for child welfare research. The text provides a comprehensive exploration of theory, policy, practice, and research, while also incorporating real-world case studies and practical applications. Designed for social work and human services courses, Advancing Equity for Anti-Racist Child Welfare encourages students and professionals to engage with the complexities of the field and become leaders that drive transformational systemic change. It is recommended for courses that emphasize cultural competence, social justice, and equity with the goal of fostering a new generation of child welfare practitioners and leaders committed to achieving justice in the system.
