Sommario/riassunto

Andrew White, the 'Vicar of Baghdad', is often in danger from bombs and bullets as he works tirelessly for peace and reconciliation in Iraq. Endlessly travelling between Britain, America and the Middle East (and coping with his own worsening multiple sclerosis), he is only too well acquainted with the violence and duplicity of the adult world. What keeps him going? Many people are surprised by his answer: . 'Children. Children who love me and children I love.'. In this remarkable book, he reflects for the first time on his own childhood and tells the stories of the children, from the . trauma

Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a practical guide for social work researchers, doctoral students, and professionals who are interested in conducting culturally competent research with diverse populations and groups. 'Culturally Competent Research' adopts ethnography as a meta-framework for conducting culturally competent research. Since its inception as an academic discipline, anthropology has developed theories, concepts, methods, and a significant body of substantive studies for the purposes of guiding cultural research, describing cultural groups and processes, and providing data needed for cross-cultural research and theory-building.
