BOOK SYNOPSIS
Anti-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.
