This book is the first critical introduction to the area of "race" and community care and thus fills an important gap in existing literature. The first part of the book considers the racialized constructions of community and provides an historical account of the relationship between state welfare and minority ethnic communities. Part two focuses on the nature of family obligations and the processes of social change. Part three provides case studies in "race" and community care by focusing on disability, mental health, cash for care and the role of the voluntary sector. The book is useful reading for students and teachers in a broad range of courses in community care, social policy, race relations and social work. It should also be of use to practitioners, policy makers and researchers in health and social care.
