Description
Understanding Violence and Abuse: An Anti-oppressive Practice Perspective by Heather Fraser and Kate Seymour explores how interpersonal violence is connected to broader societal issues. The authors examine case studies from various countries, discussing topics such as class oppression, street violence, white privilege, war, shame, Islamophobia, and abuse in intimate relationships. Through these examples, the authors introduce key principles of anti-oppressive social work practice, encouraging readers to reflect on how hierarchies of identity and difference influence our understanding of violence and abuse. They also discuss different responses to violence using an anti-opressive framework. This book provides a nuanced analysis of violence and abuse from multiple perspectives, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes of these issues.
