The Personal Life MJ Might Have Lived, But For...

By: Maria Gee Madsen

Michael’s echelon of humanitarian aid to the world demonstrated a tremendous capacity for giving, not only of himself but his wealth as well. All of his giving and the desire to set the record straight about how MJ’s fans think of him, prompted the author, Maria Gee Madsen, to want to give Michael something in return, if only in effigy. The realization that the personal life he did not enjoy shrieking unfair, unwarranted, and unkind from the grave became unbearable, encouraging th

The Squatter and the Don

By: Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton

A historical romance with an activist heart, and an impassioned critique of U.S. expansionism—with an introduction by Ana Castillo, author of So Far from God A fiercely partisan novel based on the author’s own experiences, The Squatter and the Don follows two families living near San Diego shortly after the United States’ annexation of California: the Alamares of the landed Mexican gentry, and the Darrells, the New Englanders who seek to claim the Alamares’ land. When young Clarence Darrell falls in love with Mercedes Alamar, the stage is set for a conflict that blends the personal with the political. A scathing critique of corporate capitalism, this story exposes the true historical plight of californios as their lands are taken away by a government with incestuous ties to the railroad monopoly—institutions laced with the greed and racism of nineteenth-century America’s expansionist agenda. The Modern Library Torchbearers series features women who wrote on their own terms, with boldness, creativity, and a spirit of resistance.

An Introduction to Qualitative Research

Becoming Culturally Responsive

By: Maria K. E. Lahman

This engaging introduction to all aspects of qualitative research challenges students to consider how their research can be culturally responsive. The first part of the book introduces the foundations including theory, ethics, and reflexivity, with an emphasis on multiple methodologies, from traditional to critical and cutting-edge. The second part covers practical guidance from writing proposals to data collection, and includes a chapter dedicated to creating a culturally responsive relationship with research participants. Finally, readers engage with how the quality of research is enhanced, how data are analyzed, and how research accounts are created and disseminated. Areas vital to the health of qualitative research are addressed including systemic racism and cultural humility, with cutting-edge suggestions offered in areas like hybrid research, harnessing technology, and use of social media. Multiple identities are centered in examples throughout including race, gender, and those who are hard to reach or seldom heard in research. Textboxes featuring scholars, student researchers, and community members invite readers into dialogue in an area that is contested, swiftly shifting, and always vibrant with potential.

Working Ethically in Child Protection

By: Bob Lonne,Maria Harries,Brid Featherstone,Mel Gray

In their day-to-day practice, social work and human services practitioners frequently find themselves in confusing ethical quandaries, trying to balance the numerous competing interests of protecting children from harm and promoting family and community capacity. This book explores the ethical issues surrounding child protection interventions and offers a process-oriented approach to ethical practice and decision making in child protection and family welfare practice. Its aim is to prepare students and early-career professionals for roles in the complex and challenging work of child protection and family support. Beginning with a critical analysis and appreciation of the diverse organisational and cultural contexts of contemporary child protection and ethical decision-making frameworks, the authors outline a practical ‘real-world’ model for reshaping frontline ethical practice. Moving away from a focus on the child apart from the family, the authors recognise that child safeguarding affects the lives, not just of children, but also of parents, grandparents and communities. Working Ethically in Child Protection eschews dominant rational-technical models for relational ones that are value centred and focus on family well-being as a whole. Rather than a single focus on assessing risk and diagnosing deficit, this book recognises that our child protection systems bear down disproportionately on those from disadvantaged and marginalised communities and argues that what is needed is real support and practical assistance for poor and vulnerable parents and children. It uses real-world case examples to illustrate the relevant ethical and practice principles, and ways in which students and practitioners can practise ethically when dealing with complex, multi-faceted issues.
