Shattered Bonds Book

In this gripping account of the racial injustices perpetuated by the child welfare system, Roberts powerfully argues for a transformation of child welfare policy from its current punative, "rescue-based" orientation towards a vision of community empowerment and collective concern for the well-being of all children. Detailing the coercive functions of the child welfare system on Black families, as well as it's links to racist criminal (in)justice and stigmatized welfare systems, Shattered Bonds is a must read for anyone invested in an intersectional feminist future for all families.
