| Abstract |
It is now well documented that the majority of mixed-parentage children who enter the public care system in GB have a white biological mother & a black African Caribbean father. Examined here are some of the underlying factors that increase the vulnerability of such mixed-parentage children. The situation of 134 white single mothers & their children in receipt of social work help & assistance is examined in the context of race, class, gender, & social location, drawing on quantitative & qualitative data from two studies in the East & West Midlands & London, England. 3 Tables, 42 References.
