Beskrivning

The focus on Latinos in the United States has generally overlooked key social-economic-political dimensions that are not only growing in importance, but may ultimately hold an important key to how well this group does in the immediate and distant future in the country. The approximate ten-year period since this text's initial publication has witnessed an increase in scholarship and new social-political-economic developments regarding this population group. Social Work with Latinos, Second Edition captures these advances and adds to the existing body of work in this area. In particular, this revised edition provides an up-to-date demographic profile; identifies the rewards and challenges for the development of social work interventions focused on Latinos; includes a conceptual foundation from which to develop social work strategies for outreach, engagement, service-provision, and evaluation; features a series of case illustrations to highlight how cultural competency/humility can unfold to better reach this population group; grounds the Latino experience within a social, economic, cultural, and political context; and provides recommendations for social work education, research and practice.

Recensioner i media

The relevance of Delgado's book comes at a time in history, perhaps more than any time before, when we need to address Latinos in the United States with substantial nuance. It is not just the diversity of national origins, but the generations of each group and where they have set roots, as well as their economic circumstances. It is not just immigration trauma and acculturational stress, but also the separation of families through deportation. It is not just children left behind and losing parents to deportation, but the multi-generational impact on Latino families and their communities. This new edition advances Delgado's message and provides an updated and expanded volume for the contemporary social worker."
