This book explores how social work can navigate and shape the rapidly evolving dynamics of race, ethnicity, and culture. At a time when national debates and global changes are intensifying, this book provides a much-needed intellectual space to critically examine the current landscape and envision a future that aligns with social work’s core values of justice, equity, and inclusion.Through a collection of thought-provoking chapters, the book delves into the challenges and opportunities that race, ethnicity, and culture present for social work practice, research, and education. Each chapter offers a reflective and critical appraisal of the present while proposing creative, preventive, and innovative solutions to promote racial and social justice. The authors encourage readers to embrace future thinking—an equity-centered, proactive approach that empowers us to co-create a more just and inclusive world rather than passively accept one dictated by external forces.This book is an essential resource for students, social work practitioners, educators, and researchers interested in racial and social justice, cultural competence, equity-centered practice, and innovative approaches to social work education.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work.

Featuring chapters written by leading scholars in the social work discipline, the second edition of Social Welfare Policy: Regulation and Resistance Among People of Color examines how American social welfare policies, both historical and current, have sought to control the lives of marginalized populations. The chapters also explore how people of color have organized to critique and resist the racial control aspects of these policies.Each of the book's four parts are devoted to the major groups of color in the United States: Native American or First Nation peoples; Hispanic or Latino/Latina Americans; Asian Pacific Americans; and African Americans. Contributors highlight how oppressive or racially regulatory social welfare policies have affected education systems, child protective services, spiritual and religious practices, immigration laws, incarceration rates, and foster care and adoption services. Readers learn how specific groups have countered these policies through collective resistance, advocacy for alternative policies, civil and political participation, and more.The second edition of Social Welfare Policy includes new contributions that explore social welfare policies currently in play in the United States, as well as material that reflects the country's current political and social climate.
