Beskrivning

Social work education and interventions with Black African families are frequently impaired because of discrimination, racism and the structuring priorities of neoliberalism. Rooted in rich and fascinating empirical work with practitioners and educators, this urgent, scholarly and accessible book emphasises that ‘Black Lives Matter’. Intent on nurturing more progressive and pluralistic practices in pedagogy and practice, the book is a timely and significant contribution seeking to remake social work approaches to issues of ‘race’, racism and social justice.

Recensioner i media

"This work expands social work education and explicitly centres diverse, global multicultural theoretical voices, including those platforming economic liberation-orientated concepts and paradigms. As a former service user and a practitioner, I believe this knowledge makes for better social workers." Ethics and Social Welfare
