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. 000806615 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000806615 650_0 $$aRacially mixed children. 000806615 650_0 $$aFoster children$$xCare. 000806615 650_0 $$aRacially mixed families. 000806615 650_0 $$aRacially mixed people. 000806615 650_0 $$aRacially mixed children$$xPsychology$$xAnalysis. 000806615 650_0 $$aRacially mixed people$$xRace identity. 000806615 650_0 $$aFoster home care. 000806615 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aPeters, Fiona.$$tFostering mixed race children.$$b1st ed. 2016.$$dLondon : Palgrave Macmillan, [2016]$$z1137541830$$w(DLC) 2016941859$$w(OCoLC)938384924 000806615 852__ $$bebk 000806615 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/978-1-137-54184-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000806615 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:806615$$pGLOBAL_SET 000806615 980__ $$aEBOOK 000806615 980__ $$aBIB 000806615 982__ $$aEbook 000806615 983__ $$aOnline 000806615 994__ $$a92$$bISE
