Summary:
"'Race', Gender, Social Welfare presents a layered and finely
textured analysis of the issue of 'ethnic minority' women in
professional social work in Britain. The analysis contextualizes
their entry in terms of an understanding of the developing
relationship between racial formation and its expression in local and
central policy and policy-making. In the process, the author builds
upon and greatly extends the current analyses of social policy and
'race' and gender. Using a skilful mix of theory, empirical research
and interviews, the book explores the complexities of the racialized
and gendered world of the social services department. The result is
an important contribution to the literature that draws on feminist,
postcolonial, psychoanalytic and social constructionist perspectives
to develop an argument about processes of racial formation."--BOOK
