Black Single Mothers and the Child Welfare System examines the
pressures, hardships, and oppression women of color face in the
child welfare system, and how this affects social workers who
investigate childhood abuse and neglect. Author Brandynicole Brooks
addresses intersectionality and ideological, institutional,
interpersonal, and internalized oppression and how it affects the
safety, permanence, and well-being of children. Through research
and real-life examples, the reader will be immersed in a historical
perspective of oppression faced by black single mothers involved
with social service systems, understand the definition of
oppression and its four interrelated facets, examine ways
oppression plays out in child welfare supports and services, and
discover new integrated methods of addressing oppression. The last
chapter discusses theory, generalist social work practice, and
transformational leadership styles, which can be used by social
workers to advocate on behalf of their clients and inspire
self-advocacy, thus transforming child welfare.
