Description
Race, Racism and Social Work: Contemporary Issues and Debates explores how racism has evolved in the UK and continental Europe, with a focus on its impact on social work education. The contributors, many of whom are experienced practitioners, argue that anti-racist practices should be fully integrated into training to reflect contemporary realities.
They contend that social work plays a crucial role in addressing racism towards groups such as Eastern European migrants, Roma people, and asylum seekers. This book provides a critical examination of the ways in which racism is addressed in British social work education and argues for its importance in promoting anti-racist practices.
With contributions from key practitioners in the field, this volume offers a timely and thought-provoking analysis of the role of social work in addressing racism. It will be of interest to students, practitioners, and academics working in social work and related fields.
