This contributed volume offers a holistic understanding of social
work practice in deprived communities through its thematization of
understanding deprived communities globally, the development of
competencies for social work practice in and with deprived
communities, social work education as a community development tool,
and the empowerment of social workers in deprived communities.
Inequality as a globally recognized challenge is extensively
elaborated within the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and
the Global Agenda program for social work, making this a timely and
important contribution to the literature. Deprived communities,
used in this book to mean slums, ghettos, favelas, and low-income,
remote, underserved, vulnerable, impoverished, underdeveloped,
disadvantaged, or less-favoured communities, exist worldwide and
are conceptualized under different terms and concepts. For that
reason, social work, specifically in deprived areas, is not
sufficiently recognized as a specific field of practice within
community work. As a result, this volume features contributions
that: provide a conceptual clarification of many different terms
that are used for describing deprived communities and offer a
systematic literature review on community processes and effects on
well-being in underdeveloped communities; map different fields of
social work involvement in deprived communities with concrete
practice examples; and, stress why social work as a profession
needs support and how it can be empowered to improve its capacities
in deprived communities. With international authorship and
perspectives on social work approaches for deprived communities
from India, Sub-Saharan Africa, North and Central Europe, and North
America, Practicing Social Work in Deprived Communities is an
essential resource for social workers, social work educators, and
community development practitioners. The text also should be of
interest to students of social work, as well as other professionals
and researchers working within community development and deprived
communities.
