Description
Disrupting Whiteness in Social Work challenges the dominant knowledge structures within social work, revealing how Western epistemology has shaped practice and marginalised alternative perspectives. Drawing on diverse voices from around the world, this book critiques the assumptions behind conventional social work language and invites a re-examination of its underlying principles. By exploring the epistemic foundations of social work, authors Sonia M. Tascón and Jim Ife open up a debate about the received wisdom of much social work practice. A glossary of 40 commonly used terms is included, providing insight into the epistemological assumptions behind each concept. This book will be of interest to scholars, students, and practitioners seeking to develop decolonised forms of practice, offering a valuable contribution to the field of social work.
