Anti-oppressive Social Work Theory And Practice (PDF)
by Lena DominelliThis book, by one of the leading theorists of social work, tackles a subject of crucial importance to students and practitioners alike: how social workers can enable their clients to challenge and transcend the manifold oppressions that disempower them (whether through poverty, disability, mental illness, etc. ). It moves from a discussion of social work's purpose and ambitions to an exposition of theory and, from there, to the practice arenas of working with individuals, in groups, within organisations, and within a wider social and political context.
The Anti-Politics Machine (The Macat Library)
by Julie JenkinsThe Anti-Politics Machine (1990) examines how international development projects are conceived, researched, and put into practice. It also looks at what these projects actually achieve. Ferguson criticizes the idea of externally-directed ‘development’ and argues that the process doesn’t take proper account of the daily realities of the communities it is intended to benefit. Instead, they often prioritize technical solutions for addressing poverty and ignoring its social and political dimensions, so the structures that these projects put in place often have unintended consequences. Ferguson suggests that until the process becomes more reflective, development projects will continue to fail.

Anti-Racism, Feminism, and Critical Approaches to Education (Critical Studies in Education and Culture Series)
by Roxana Ng Joyce Scane Patricia StatonThis book maintains that there has not been sufficient dialogue and cross-fertilization between various forms of critical approaches to education, notably multicultural/anti-racist education, feminist pedagogy, and critical pedagogy. Contributors from Canada and the United States address educational issues relevant to aboriginal peoples, people of color, and people of religious minorities in light of feminist and critical pedagogical theory. They are sensitive and responsive to the power relations operative in a setting, and address the multiple and contradictory subjectivities of teachers and learners on the basis of race, gender, class, religion, ethnicity, age, and ability.
Anti-racism in Social Work Practice (PDF)
by Angie Bartoli Prospera Tedam Bernadette Curran Sukhwinder Singh Sue Kennedy Charity Chukwuemeka Paul CroftsAnti-racism has a long history within the profession of social work and its education. Despite an agenda within higher education which promotes internationalization and practice which recognizes diversity, little has been written to address the question of why black African students have a different experience from others on their social work educational journey. This book is based upon the authors’ experience as educators and their own research about and with black students’ experience of racism and ‘otherness’ within social work practice and education. Radical and honest in nature, it re-visits anti-racism within social work practice and education from a student focused and informed perspective based on lived experience and conversations.

The Anti-Racist Media Manifesto (The Manifesto Series)
by Anamik Saha Francesca Sobande Gavan TitleyHow can we make media anti-racist? The rise of the far right, the impacts of Covid-19, and the mediated evidence of racist police violence have challenged the dominant complacency that racism was a thing of the past. We are now witnessing the renewed anti-racist commitment of social movements and the rising authoritarianism that seeks to suppress it. Rather than making media ‘less racist’, how can media systems be transformed in ways that actively challenge the production of racism? What should an anti-racist media look like? Saha, Sobande and Titley address these timely questions to outline the essential steps for working towards an anti-racist media future. Revealing how the media are implicated in racism, the authors consider how systems, policies and practices can be transformed to confront and prevent it. Focusing on the problems of impartiality, the limits of diversity and representation, and the contradictions of digital culture, this manifesto illuminates key strategies and suggestions to move us closer to an anti-racist media future for everyone.

Anti-racist Practice In Social Work (PDF)
by Kish Bhatti-Sinclair Robert Adams Lena Dominelli Malcolm PayneThis important text provides an introduction to the latest debates about racism for students of social work. It addresses why anti-racism matters in social work and how it can be achieved. In the process, it comprehensively examines the conceptual and practice issues in a fast-changing global context, steering a careful path through the increasingly complex language of human rights, multiculturalism, migration, terrorism and inclusion/exclusion. In keeping with other titles in the series, it draws widely on research evidence, applied examples and practice guidelines to support the student reader.
Anti-Racist Probation Practice
by Lena DominelliThe probation service has committed itself to anti-racist initiatives and those promoting equal opportunities for some time. However, the experiences of black people, whether as workers or 'clients' indicates that the realities of day-to-day practice are far removed from this. Moreover, the picture is just as bleak if not even more so in other parts of the criminal justice system including the judiciary and the prison service. Anti-Racist Probation Practice addresses this conundrum and drawing on the experiences of black people makes practical proposals for moving forward in non-tokenistic ways. These include core areas of practice, for example court reports monitoring systems; resource allocation; and working relations. Arguing that process, procedures and outcomes in the work done must be taken together if individual, institutional and cultural racism are to be eradicated, the book shows that anti-racist probation practice must be taken seriously by both black and white people if it is to materialise.

Anti-racist Social Work (PDF)
by Lena DominelliAnti-Racist Social Work has been completely revised for the third edition. It contextualises and considers changes in anti-racist practice since the first edition to situate its narratives within the globalising world that social work is currently embedded. It addresses the current disillusionment with attempts to create social relationships that transcend racial divides to create egalitarian social relations. The complexity of racialisation processes, identity politics, the contemporary sites for the enactment of racist dynamics and roles that social workers can play in stemming the unfolding human drama of misery that racism produces through its impact on their profession are explored in different practice settings and policy provisions. The book ends on an optimistic note, contrary to the pessimism of postmodern analysts. It argues that by understanding how racist practices at the personal, institutional and cultural levels impede endeavours aimed at securing racial justice, and forming alliances and partnerships aimed at promoting equality with a range of stakeholders, social workers can do much to enhance social justice and people's well-being in their own practice and the broader society.
Anti-Semitism: Myth and Hate from Antiquity to the Present
by F. Schweitzer M. PerryIn this provocative book, Marvin Perry and Frederick M. Schweitzer analyze the lies, misperceptions, and myths about Jews and Judaism that anti-semites have propagated throughout the centuries. Beginning with antiquity, and continuing into the present day, the authors explore the irrational fabrications that have led to numerous acts of violence and hatred against Jews. The book examines ancient and medieval myths central to the history of anti-semitism: Jews as 'Christ-killers', instruments of Satan, and ritual murderers of Christian children. It also explores the scapegoating of Jews in the modern world as conspirators bent on world domination; extortionists who manufactured the Holocaust as a hoax designed to gain reparation payments from Germany; and the leaders of the slave trade that put Africa in chains. No other book has focused its attention exclusively on a thematic discussion of historic and contemporary anti-semitic myths, covering such an expansive scope of time, and allowing for such a painstaking level of exemplification. Anti-semitism is an essential book that will serve as a corrective to bigotry, stereotype, and historical distortion.
