| Description: |
Anti-oppressive practice and anti-discriminatory perspectives have become an integral part of social work. This book addresses developments and charts the impact of social changes and literature shaping social work theory and practice with black and minority individuals, families and communities. |
| Synopsis: |
Over several decades, anti-oppressive practice and anti-discriminatory perspectives have become an integral part of social work. These perspectives emerged during the 1980s in response to the growing awareness of widespread discrimination and inequalities in service provision and delivery. Anti-racist perspectives were subsumed into an anti-discriminatory framework which addressed wider forms of discrimination such as those based on gender, disability and ageing. Major social work texts have developed anti-discriminatory perspectives and anti-oppressive models of practice as an essential component of contemporary social work. This book builds upon popular texts addressing anti-discriminatory frameworks but focuses specifically upon black perspectives in social work and taking into account current issues and concerns. "Black Perspectives in Social Work" was published almost sixteen years ago and there is an urgent need for a new text that addresses new developments and charts the impact of social changes and new literature shaping social work theory and practice with black and minority individuals, families and communities.This book provides a general introductory text to social work with black and minority ethnic communities for students, lecturers, practice teachers/assessors who are engaged in examining anti-discriminatory practice frameworks and black perspectives in academic settings and practice learning. It will support curriculum-based learning through its focus on anti-discriminatory practice in a climate that appears less sympathetic to the multicultural nature of British society. |
