"Exploring how to translate anti-oppressive theory into everyday social work practice and how to "do" politicized, transformative social work, this book brings together ten authors with extensive backgrounds in social justice and front line practice. Drawing on practice vignettes, personal experiences and case work examples, the authors focus on social work practice in a variety of settings, including child welfare, mental health, addictions, clinical therapy, women's service, community, settlement and health. Suggesting ways to approach anti-oppressive practice in an era of globalization, cutbacks and growing inequity, the authors show that dedicated, social justice-oriented social workers can do more than apply band-aids to social problems. They can politicize everyday work with clients, resist oppression and challenge injustice on the front lines, while simultaneously working to transform larger systems."--Pub. desc
