Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book examines the conceptual, historical and practical implications that various social policies in the US have had on ethnic minorities (defined broadly as African Americans, Native Americans, Latinos and Asian Americans). More importantly, it shows how these groups have responded to and resisted these policies from a strengths-based approach, rather than presenting them as passive victims as many other current texts do.
