Book excerpt: Children growing up in poverty face many challenges that children from more affluent families never experience. These children reside in disadvantaged neighborhoods with substandard housing, inadequate medical care, and under resourced schools. Family poverty places children at greater risk for depression, low self-esteem, antisocial behavior, and poor academic achievement (Duncan & Brooks-Gunn 1997). In spite of these disadvantages, there are some children who "beat the odds" and grow up to become successful adults who make significant contributions to society. The primary goal of this study is to understand the processes whereby assets or resources enable children in poverty to be resilient, despite the risks associated with living in poverty. In the study reported here, a draw-and-write technique was used as a way of inviting 33 children, (23 females and 10 males, of which 10 were Hmong, 11 were Middle Eastern, and 12 were African Americans) to make visual representations of the resources that, in their view, contribute to the resilience process. In addition to the draw-and-write, we also conducted in depth interviews with a sub-set (15) of the children who agreed to discuss the meaning of the images in their drawings. The drawings were analyzed using deductive content analysis. Narratives and interview data were analyzed using a theoretical thematic analysis approach. The findings support the preliminary findings from our first study that families, particularly parents have the strongest influence on supporting the resilience process in a child. These findings were consistent across ethnicity and gender. Most of the participants in this study described their parent(s) as nurturing and supportive, enabling them to overcome obstacles and adversities within their environment. Families, particularly parents, should be the target of future interventions designed to produce resilient behaviors in youth of color living in poverty.

Book excerpt: THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER IS NOW A MAJOR-MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY RON HOWARD AND STARRING AMY ADAMS, GLENN CLOSE, AND GABRIEL BASSO "You will not read a more important book about America this year."—The Economist "A riveting book."—The Wall Street Journal "Essential reading."—David Brooks, New York Times Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis—that of white working-class Americans. The disintegration of this group, a process that has been slowly occurring now for more than forty years, has been reported with growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck. The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.’s grandparents were “dirt poor and in love,” and moved north from Kentucky’s Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually one of their grandchildren would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of success in achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that J.D.'s grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, never fully escaping the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. With piercing honesty, Vance shows how he himself still carries around the demons of his chaotic family history. A deeply moving memoir, with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation on the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country.

Download or read book Kinship Care written by Elaine Farmer and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2008-05-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are frequently cared for by relatives and friends when parents, for whatever reason, are unable to care for their children themselves. Yet there has been very little information about how well children do when placed with kin or how safe they are in these placements. This book compares formal kinship care to traditional foster placements in order to ascertain which children are placed with kin, in what circumstances, how well such children progress, and how often these placements disrupt. The authors explore whether children placed with family and friends fare better or worse than other foster children, what services are provided and needed, and how kin care is experienced by carers, children and social workers. This book will be essential reading for social workers, policy makers, students and all those working with looked-after children, and will enable local authorities to make informed decisions about where best to place children and the support needed by family and friend carers.

Book excerpt: With the biting wit of Supersize Me and the passion of a lifelong activist, Joel Berg has his eye on the growing number of people who are forced to wait on lines at food pantries across the nation—the modern breadline. All You Can Eat reveals that hunger is a problem as American as apple pie, and shows what it is like when your income is not enough to cover rising housing and living costs and put food on the table. Berg takes to task politicians who remain inactive; the media, which ignores hunger except during holidays and hurricanes; and the food industry, which makes fattening, artery-clogging fast food more accessible to the nation's poor than healthy fare. He challenges the new president to confront the most unthinkable result of US poverty—hunger—and offers a simple and affordable plan to end it for good. A spirited call to action, All You Can Eat shows how practical solutions for hungry Americans will ultimately benefit America's economy and all of its citizens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE ASSIGNMENT When Brina Louise Grant, recent graduate of Cyclops (their equivalent of West Point), accepted a one way mission from her 25th century world into the wild west of their mid 1800’s, she had no idea it would take her on a journey far and beyond what her wildest imagination could concoct. With a mystical entity by her side, Brina’s assignment is to follow the assassin Jesse Loame to the past, tracking him down with orders to kill. Brina’s story takes her through a time of personal wonderment, awe, appreciation, and growth. A time of dedication to her cause, an inner conflict to stay true, to survive it all, and to win. In the midst of it all, she traverses through times of gun slingers, outlaws, deviates, hired guns, cowboys, town folk, country folk, spiritual beings, ancestors, peace officers and horses. Those indigenous to the region, chiseled from the core of their own western frontier, struggle to survive. Others not of that time period are on their own quest. They have their own agenda, their own assignments. Orders to kill. To kill Brina Louise Grant before she gets to Jesse.
