Forrest-Bank, S., & Jenson, J. (2015). Differences in experiences of racial & ethnic micro-Aggression among Asian, Latino/Hispanic, Black & White young adults.

Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare, 42(1), 141-161.

The author of this annotated bibliography has decided to focus on homelessness and discrimination. As such, the four annotated sources that will follow in these pages will focus on those two topics, if not both at the same time. The Forrest-Bank and Jenson source was just authored a few months ago. The initial point of the article is that "racial and ethnic discrimination is a significant risk factor for health and mental health problems among non-White children, adolescents and adults." The report defines micro-aggression based on the main who coined the term, apparently. The term means minor acts of discrimination that are inflicted and/or endured frequently. The authors did an ANOVA-based study focusing on the experiences of people of all races. The scores revealed through the analysis found very significant and disparate results based on race. Whites were on the receiving end of these "micro-aggression" outbursts much less often than the other groups, all of the minority.


Maeseele, T., Roose, R., Bouverne-De Bie, M., & Roets, G. (2013). From vagrancy to homelessness: The value of a welfare approach to homelessness. British Journal

of Social Work, 44(7), 1717-1734. doi:10.1093/bjsw/bct050

This article focuses on the other topic to be focused on by the author of this bibliography, and that is homelessness. The article focuses on the idea that vagrancy of people being treated as a criminal matter has been a common pattern in the past but has fallen out of favor due to its ostensible lack of efficacy in combating the problem. The author notes that homelessness should instead be addressed as a psycho-social problem. However, the author notes that the inteventions available for homeless people are increasingly condition. Obviously, this affects access to the services. The author of the study notes that homelessness is a broader problem than just "housing" or "welfare" and is rather a much more complex phenomenon that relates to both "material and immaterial components."
