Review Quotes:
".. the authors have produced a thoughtful, committed and wholly convincing book, which sets and achieves a high level of critical debate. It is certainly a must-read for all social work students. However, it should be read by everyone who is concerned about the future of social work and, above all, by those searching for more creative ways to tackle injustice and strengthen the emancipatory content of their work." Paul Stepney in British Journal of Social Work
