Description: Doing Anti-Oppressive PracticeBuilding Transformative, Politicized Social Work Author(s): Donna Baines, Akua Benjamin Format: Paperback Publisher: Fernwood Publishing Co Ltd, Canada Imprint: Fernwood Publishing Co Ltd ISBN-13: 9781552668795, 978-1552668795 Synopsis This updated third edition of the immensely popular Doing Anti-Oppressive Practice introduces students to anti-oppressive social work, its historical and theoretical roots and the specific contexts of anti-oppressive social work practice. Key to this practice is the understanding that the problems faced by an individual are rooted in the inequalities and oppression of the socio-political structure of society rather than in personal characteristics or individual choices. Moreover, the contributors show that social justice and social change - working against racism, sexism and class oppression - can and must be a key component of social work practice. Drawing on concrete examples from specific practice contexts, personal experience and case work, including child welfare, poverty, mental health, addictions and disability, the contributors demonstrate how to translate social justice theory into everyday practice. This new edition adds chapters on working with refugee, immigrant and racialized families; children; older adults; cognitive behavioural therapy; and using social media as a tool for social change.
