Collective Memory Identity and the Legacies of Slavery and Indenture

Collective Memory Identity and the Legacies of Slavery and Indenture

The Caribbean history provides a rich study of the different forms of labour systems that have historically marked the politics of the coloniser and the colonised. It further provides the basis for an essential study for discourses on colonialism and capitalism. This interdisciplinary volume bridges the gap between historiography and the present-day diasporic communities which emerged from the slave trade and indenture. Through case studies from the Caribbean context the volume demonstrates how the region’s historical labour mobility remains central to performances and negotiations of collective memory and identity.

A History of Child Welfare

A History of Child Welfare

As we approach the year 2000 infant mortality rates child placement dilemmas and appropriate socialization of children continue to challenge the field of child welfare. It is thus especially significant to reflect on the history of child welfare. The carefully selected topics explored in this volume underscore the importance of recovering past events and themes still relevant. It is the aim of this volume to illumine current issues by a review of past struggles and problems. A History of Child Welfare offers many examples of practices that have direct import for those who struggle to support children. Who is not bothered by what seem to be increasing acts of violence by children against children? The role of hidden cruelty to children in perpetuating violence is illuminated by studying the past. Historians and social researchers have gone far in examining the family and by implication their revelations greatly increase society's complex responses to children over time from early assumptions that children were little more than miniature adults to the discovery of childhood as a special developmental period. At the start of this century women still did not have universal suffrage and brutal child labor was not unusual. Harsh legal codes separating the races were widespread and those bent on improving the lot of children knew that reform meant commitment to an uphill struggle. By the end of the century much has changed: child labor while still present has been outlawed in most industries women vote and hold many high offices; and de jure racial segregation is largely a memory. Yet the state of children remains precarious with poverty a persistent theme throughout the century. The fifteen articles in this volume cover a wide range of social conditions public policies and approaches to problem solving. Though history does not repeat itself precisely problems controversies about solutions and certain themes do. A History of Child Welfare takes up social and economic conditions that correlate with increasing rates of child abuse and neglect and an increasing number of children in out-of-home care. This volume distinguishes approaches that have been useful from those that have failed. In this way these serious reflections help build on past successes and avoid previous errors.

The Other 23 Hours Child Care Work with Emotionally Disturbed Children in a Therapeutic Milieu

The Other 23 Hours Child Care Work with Emotionally Disturbed Children in a Therapeutic Milieu

Among other revolutionary developments of today's world is tie so-called knowledge explosion. So much is being written so fast about so many things that it is becoming well nigh ir­retrievable. One consequently can never be sure that he knows what there is to know about many kinds of phenomena or types of problems existing in the modern world due to the chance that something exists in written form that simply cannot be found so bulky is the load of literature. The common idea that only the sick child and never the well needs special emotional supports and helps from the adult is simply an error. For the well child is not immune from pile-ups of severe emotional intensity when overwhelmed by confusion and conflicts from within. Certainly the normal kid can be ex­pected to handle such crises either from within or without better than his sick peer on the average but that does not mean always; and the critical issue for the well child is: is he ready at the time they hit? If not he needs quite unmistakably emotional first aid from the adult - parent teacher camp counselor (or what have you) - who is in charge of his life at that moment. The reader will find that what the authors describe in The Other 23 Hours as the everyday requirement diet as far as child handling is concerned for their disturbed children is transferable to the normal crises of normal child­hood. | The Other 23 Hours Child Care Work with Emotionally Disturbed Children in a Therapeutic Milieu
