They are laborers, soldiers, refugees, and orphans. In areas of the
world torn by poverty, disease, and war, millions of children are
invisible victims, deprived of home, family, and basic human
rights. Their chances for a stable adult life are extremely slim.
The powerful interdisciplinary volume Vulnerable Children brings a
global child-rights perspective to the lives of indigenous,
refugee, and minority children in and from crisis-prone regions.
Focusing on self-determination, education, security, health, and
related issues, an international panel of scholars examines the
structural and political sources of children's vulnerabilities and
their effects on development. The book analyzes intervention
programs currently in place and identifies challenges that must be
met at both the community and larger policy levels. These chapters
also go a long way to explain the often-blurred line between
vulnerability and resilience. Included in the coverage: Dilemmas of
rights-based approaches to child well-being in an African cultural
context. Poverty and minority children's education in the U.S.:
case study of a Sudanese refugee family. The heterogeneity of young
children's experiences in Kenya and Brazil. A world tour of
interventions for children of a parent with a psychiatric illness.
An exploration of fosterage of Owambo orphans in Namibia. UNICEF in
Colombia: defending and nurturing childhood in media, public, and
policy discourses. Vulnerable Children is a must-have volume for
researchers, graduate students, and
clinicians/professionals/practitioners across a range of fields,
including child and school psychology, social work, maternal and
child health, developmental psychology, anthropology, sociology,
social policy, and public health.
