Orphan Care: A Comparative View,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
It is estimated that there are some 140 million orphans worldwide, most of them in transition countries such as Russia and Brazil or poorer regions of the Global South.In Orphan Care, Jo Bailey and her contributors argue that efforts to help orphans have been marred by overreliance on models and practices originating in the developed countries of the Global North. Baileys collection is unique in that the contributors to the book are from Botswana, Brazil, China, Russia, Thailand, and Zimbabwe. The collection provides an insider on the ground perspective on orphan care in these respective countries. Each chapter covers the countrys history and background of policy and services to orphans, the dominant reasons children are brought into care; and the prevailing forms of current orphan services.The book questions the conventional wisdom and appropriateness of imported orphan care models and services and shows the lessons that Northern sociologists and development practitioners can learn from their counterparts in the South and how people can work together to create and implement effective orphan care programs throughout the world.By providing an indigenous expert approach to orphan care practice in middle and extremely poor countries, Baileys collection offers insights and analysis rarely found in the conventional sociological and development literature on orphans and orphan services, and, as such, constitutes a valuable guide and reference for social workers, NGO leaders, and policymakers. The book is also recommended for courses on comparative sociology, the sociology of developing countries, and the cultural influences on social work practice.
