All recent books on international social work mention Africa only
briefly and few engage with the broader field of development
studies. This book focuses solely on the unique African context
engaging with issues relating to social work and development more
broadly thus enabling a deeper examination and more complex and
nuanced picture to emerge. Unlike most academic works, this book
highlights multiple practitioner voices, with authors or co-authors
that have recently been or are currently practising social workers.
As an edited book, it draws from both academic research as well as
lived practice experience, supported by strong theoretical
positioning and guidance in introductory chapters, drawing on
African literature, wherever possible. Looking at case-studies from
Lesotho, Botswana, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Namibia, Uganda,
Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Rwanda, Zambia and Tanzania and
covering established areas of practice such as child protection;
working with older people; working with people with disabilities;
mental health; and mainstream services targeting women as well as
emerging areas of developmental social work practice, such as
humanitarian assistance in post-conflict situations; work with
immigrants and refugees; and the training of community-based
workers, this book takes a future-oriented perspective that aims to
move beyond well-worn critiques to envision constructive and
sustainable futures for social work and social development in
Africa from a critical perspective.
