520 $aAnalyzes the history of the U.S. child welfare system and its implications today, offering ideas for reform and building solidarity. Lash looks at the history and politics of the US child welfare system, exposing the system in its totality, from child protective investigation to foster care and mandated services, arguing that it constitutes a mechanism of control exerted over poor and working class parents and children. Applying the Marxist framework of social reproduction theory to the child welfare system, the author reveals the system's role in the regulation of family life under capitalism. --Adapted from publisher description
