While blatant forms of racism and discrimination have largely been
condemned in our society, systematic oppression and racism can be
manifested in a less obvious form, as 'microaggressions'. The term,
originally developed in the 1970s by Chester Peirce to describe the
ways in which Black people were "put down" by their White
counterparts, has since been expanded to describe both conscious
and unconscious acts that reflect superiority, hostility, and
racially inflicted insults and demeanors to marginalized groups of
people. This book provides a platform for social work researchers,
scholars, and practitioners to present their research, ideas, and
practices pertaining to ways in which microaggressions and other
subtle, but lethal forms of discrimination impact marginalized
populations within social work and human services. Contributors
discuss the impact of microaggressions in social work as they
relate to race; gender and gender expression; sexual orientation;
class; and spirituality. The book also examines curriculum,
pedagogy, and the academic climate as targets for intervention in
social work education. This book was originally published as a
series of special issues of the Journal of Ethnic and Cultural
Diversity in Social Work.
