Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Doing Anti-Oppressive Social Work brings together critical social work authors to passionately engage with pressing social issues, and to pose new solutions, practices, and analysis in the context of growing inequities and the need for reconciliation, decolonization, and far-reaching change.

The book presents strong intersectional perspectives and practice, engaging closely with decolonization, re-Indigenization, resistance, and social justice. Like the first three editions, the 4th edition foregrounds the voices of those less heard in social work academia and provides cutting-edge critical reflection and skills, including social work's relationship to the state, and social work's responsibility to individuals, communities, and its own ethics and standards of practice.

Indigenous, Black, racialized, transgender, (dis)Ability, and allied scholars offer identity-engaged and intersectional analyses on a wide range of issues facing those working with intersectional cultural humility, racism and child welfare, poverty and single mothers, critical gerontology and older people, and immigrant and racialized families.

This 4th edition of Doing Anti-Oppressive Social Work goes well beyond its predecessors, updating and revising popular chapters, but also problematizing AOP and engaging closely with new and emerging issues.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Praised for building on strong foundations, this edition highlights Indigenous knowledges and critiques social work’s role within oppressive state structures, especially in Canada. It is commended for its comprehensive coverage of identity and intersectionality, and for urging social work to uphold its commitments to equality and diversity globally. Educators value it for addressing pressing contemporary social work challenges with depth and critical engagement.
