Vulnerable Multiracial Families and Early Years Services: Concerns, Challenges and Opportunities.

Boushel, Margaret

Children & Society, v10 n4 p305-16 Dec 1996

Reviews research on experiences of vulnerable and poor English multiracial families. Finds three emerging concerns: (1) relationship between family structure, locality and racism, and disadvantage and oppression; (2) the impact of family life on culturally defined gender roles; and (3) the limitations of current early years research and practice. Suggests how professionals might develop their practices with multiracial families. (KDFB)
