The profession of social work in the United States has a complex
history of upholding White supremacy alongside a goal of achieving
racial justice. Moreover, the profession simultaneously practices
within racist institutions and systems and works to dismantle them.
While there are many ways that the profession of social work has
improved quality of life for minoritized groups, there are numerous
missed opportunities where we have failed to uphold our values. In
the wake of national movements to stop state-sanctioned violence
and anti-Black racism and the knowledge of persistent racial
disparities in key social welfare institutions (i.e., child
welfare, criminal justice, health, housing, and mental health),
these paradoxes remain the forefront of discussion in academia,
social media, and social work practice. The aftermath of these
national efforts provided an opportunity to appraise our
profession's relationship to White supremacy and racial justice in
order to reimagine and work to achieve an anti-racist future. In
this edited volume, the authors critically examine social work's
history, values, and mission, offer innovative strategies for
education and practice, and make a call-to-action for social work
to eliminate structural racism in education, research, practice,
and social service institutions and systems. A collection of 40
chapters using diverse voices, theories, and methods challenges us
to conceptualize and enact an anti-racist future through reckoning
with our past histories of oppression and resistance, de-centering
whiteness, and forging new practices, policies, and pedagogies that
can lead to an anti-racist future.
