The Road Not Taken: A History of Radical Social Work in the United States examines the evolution of social work in the United States through a lens rarely utilized in explorations of the profession's past. Employing a broad range of primary and secondary sources, many of them previously untapped, the authors focus on the influence of radical individuals and ideas in shaping the development of social work practice and social welfare policies during the past century. The book also explores the responses of mainstream institutions, political leaders, and the media to the ideas and actions of radical social workers: responses which ranged from accommodation, co-optation, and incorporation to harsh repression.
The Road Not Taken is an appeal to re-examine the profession's history in light of the critical choices made and the battles fought or deferred by American social workers, and to consider how they might respond to contemporary and future political and cultural threats.
