The publication of the Inquiry into the murder of Stephen Lawrence
emphasised the institutionally racist nature of British society.
Public bodies and welfare institutions are having to face the
consequences of racism within their organisations. This task should
draw on the earlier experience of the Central Council for Education
and Training in Social Work's (CCETSW) anti-racist agenda, whose
initiative came under attack from government ministers, media
commentators and sections of the social work profession. This book
describes and analyses the development of anti-racist social work
education and training and moves on to a broader debate: it
critically assesses the concept of 'race', the historical
development and maintenance of racism in contemporary British
society, exploring 'race-related' legislation and its theoretical
underpinnings; it offers an historical exploration of the role of
social work and its relationship with, and response to, the needs
of deprived and marginalised communities; it provides an assessment
of the backlash against CCETSW's anti-racist developments from
politicians, the media and sections of the social work profession,
incorporating a debate regarding charges of political correctness.
Issues such as 'political correctness' and 'identity politics' are
critically explored, and the implications of these political
processes on the anti-racist policy agenda are assessed. The
analysis reflects on both the possibilities and limitations placed
on establishing anti-racist policies. Tackling institutional racism
will be of particular interest to Diploma in Social Work students,
social work practitioners and academics, social policy
undergraduates and postgraduates. It should also be read by
professionals at different levels in the policy-making process,
particularly those working directly with, acting on behalf of, or
pursuing, the interests of the black community.
