Reclaiming Social Work is a thought-provoking and innovative book
which examines how social work's commitment to social justice has
been deepened and enriched by its contact with wider social
movements. It explores the tensions between social work values and
a market-driven agenda, and locates new resources of hope for the
social work profession in the developing resistance to
managerialism. The book: " discusses pertinent social work issues
such as inequality and risk, the voluntary sector, and service-user
involvement " examines values such as democracy, solidarity,
accountability, participation, justice, equality, liberty and
diversity " is written in an accessible style, drawing on diverse
examples to illustrate theoretical concepts. Reclaiming Social Work
is an accessible yet challenging book and will be essential reading
for all social work students and practitioners wanting to think
outside the boundaries of their profession. The book will be
particularly helpful to students taking courses in anti-oppressive
practice, social work values, social work theories and concepts,
and international social work. Iain Ferguson is a Senior Lecturer
in Social Work at the University of Stirling. Previous publications
include Rethinking Welfare: A Critical Perspective (SAGE, 2002,
co-authored with Michael Lavalette and Gerry Mooney);
Globalisation, Global Justice and Social Work (Routledge, 2004,
co-edited with Michael Lavalette and Elizabeth Whitmore); and
International Social Work and the Radical Tradition (Venture Press,
2007, co-edited with Michael Lavalette).
