How does knowledge of ‘mixedness’ underpin  policy and practice? How, when and why is the classification ‘mixed’ a  disadvantage? Through narrative interviews with children currently in foster  care, \u003ci\u003eFostering Mixed Race Children\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eexamines the impact  of care processes on children’s everyday experiences. Peters shows how the  ‘mixed race’ classification affects care admission, including both short and long  term fostering and care leaving, and shapes the experiences of children in  often adverse ways. The book moves away from the psychologising of ‘mixedness’  towards a much-needed sociological analysis of ‘mixedness’ and ‘mixing’ at the  intersection of foster care processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest  to  academics and practitioners working with families and children.
