Product Description

This book offers an introduction to cross-cultural perspectives in child development that both challenges assumptions implicit in much traditional psychology and relates theory and research to social work practice. It discusses cultural similarities and differences across groups of white and black people in relation to a range of key topics, from attachment and identity to communication and socialization.

Editorial Reviews

Review
'...this text discusses the topic with enthusiasm and commitment, the content is well supported by literature and research and the author approaches many complex issues that are not widely discussed in other literature.' - Emma Griffiths, Social Policy and Social Work 'Cross-Cultural child Development for Social Workers is written in a clear and accessible style and is well suited to undergraduate and post-qualifying readers. It is thus a welcome addition to the literature on child development.' - Claudia Bernard, British Journal of Social Work, Vol 38, No 2, February 2008
