	Raising Our Children Out of Poverty - Raising Our Children Out of Poverty shows what can be done at the national and local community levels to raise children out of poverty by strengthening families, communities, and social services. Based on the April 1998 symposium “Raising Our Children Out of Poverty” at the Saint Louis University School of Social Service, this important book is particularly timely given the prevalence of poverty among children in the United States. Social Work practitioners and other helping advocates will discover chapters discussing the future of foster care, ecumenical housing, collaborative practice in low income communities, fostering resiliency in children, programs that are alternatives to incarceration, and an innovative family support and empowerment program.

	Child Soldiers - Up to half a million children have been engaged in more than 85 conflicts worldwide. As armed conflict proliferates, increasing numbers of children are exposed to the brutalities of war. Boys and girls around the world are recruited to be child soldiers by armed forces and militant groups, either forcibly or voluntarily. Some are tricked into service by manipulative recruiters, others join in order to escape poverty or discrimination, while still others are outright abducted at school, on the streets, and at home. Aside from participating in combat, many are used for sexual purposes, made to lay and clear land mines, or employed as spies, messengers, porters, or servants.

	Children of the Dark - The inhuman working conditions at the time of the Industrial Revolution in Britain are well documented. Even so, this study makes shocking reading. Focusing on the Husker pit disaster of 1838 (at Silkstone, near Barnsley), when 26 children drowned, trapped underground during a flash flood, Gallop has written a gripping account of the extraction of 'king' coal in early Victorian times. 'Joey's Story' - a stirring, fictional tale based on the experiences of an actual seven-year-old 'trapper' who died in the disaster - helps to imbue the facts and figures with flesh and blood.

	Children of Other Worlds: Exploitation in the Global Market - London-based journalist Seabrook (Travels in the Skin Trade), who has written widely on labor, Asia and the sex trade, compares child labor in contemporary Bangladesh with that of industrial Britain in the 19th century. By including extensive testimonials from Bangladeshi children, he illustrates many disturbing similarities in the mills and factories of the two nations in the exodus to the city, social attitudes to poverty, and the absolute necessity of child labor to supplement inadequate family income.

	When Poverty's Children Write: Celebrating Strengths, Transforming Lives - When Poverty's Children Write addresses the unique challenges that teachers face when teaching disadvantaged children to write. Bobbie Solley begins by identifying the unique characteristics of oral language and print knowledge that poor children typically bring with them to school. Then she argues against a deficit-based approach, demonstrating instead strategies, activities, and classroom dynamics that capitalize on students' strengths and innate knowledge to build written-language skills.
