The ‘mixed race’ classification is known to be a factor of disadvantage in children’s social care and this fastest growing population is more likely than any other ethnic group to experience care admission. 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, Fostering Mixed Race Children examines 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. This book will be of interest to academics and practitioners working with families and children. Peters presents a child-centred narrative focus and offers unique insights into a complex area.

In "Dont Own, Dont Rent, Live Well", Matthew & Fiona Peters share how, they pay nothing for their housing, eliminated their debts, built their nest egg, worked less, and traveled the world. Since 2001 they have developed and perfected The Better-Than-Free Home lifestyle by totally redefining the traditional role of a resident manager--by stripping it down and systematizing everything. Their system allows them to run a 34 unit townhouse community in less than 50 hours a year!
