Reviews
“With this important history, Mical Raz contributes significantly to the growing literature on child abuse policy by examining in depth the forces at play during an especially transformative era. The 1970s through the 1990s saw an expanded definition of child abuse and an explosion of child removal and foster care, and Raz offers a carefully researched, clearly written history of what happened and why it matters.”—Dorothy Roberts, author of Shattered Bonds: The Color of Child Welfare
