Description: "Decolonizing Social Work provides such a long-overdue examination. Gathering social work scholars and practitioners from around the world, this collection offers a geographically diverse array ambitious and insightful theoretical, conceptual, and practical discussions of how social work can perpetuate the afterlives of colonialism and of how this can be reversed. In so doing, this book not only provides in-depth, empirically grounded critiques of and antidotes to various policies for managing people at the margins of society, it also makes a compelling case for always keeping the complexity of colonial continuity in conversation with neoliberal systems of governance"--
