This book is ideal for social work students, practitioners, educators, and researchers seeking advanced critical perspectives on anti-oppressive practices, intersectionality, and social justice within social work, particularly in contexts concerned with decolonisation and cultural humility.

This book continues the strong tradition of 3 editions of Doing Anti-Oppressive practice but adds new issues and cutting-edge critical reflection of AOP

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.
