ESTHER J. CALZADA, MONICA FAULKNER, CATHERINE LABRENZ, AND MILTON A. FUENTES
“A refreshing and nuanced perspective that debunks colonialist narratives on child maltreatment and centers cultural context in discourse on origins of and interventions for maltreatment, this book takes an intersectional approach in identifying challenges and recommending how to support safe, stable and nurturing parenting in an increasingly diverse U.S. population. A critical resource for practitioners, policy makers and researchers alike.”
—Megan Finno-Velasquez, Associate Professor and Director of the Center on Immigration and Child Welfare, New Mexico State University
