In Torn Apart Roberts provides a legal analysis of the US child welfare system that is grounded in a historical, sociological, political, and economic analysis. Torn Apart could be viewed as a continuation of Robert’s book Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty, in which the regulation of black women’s child bearing is analyzed in detail. Roberts helps us understand how the welfare system operates in terms of federal state, local policy, institutional dynamics
