This compelling example of auto-ethnography follows the journey of
a psychologist pursuing her career in apartheid-era South
Africa-and reappraising her work and her worldview in the
post-apartheid years. The author describes her development of a
human rights perspective, rooted in an understanding of power
dynamics in contexts of oppression, privilege and inequality, as it
evolved from theory to real-life practice in academia and the
community. Key themes include embedding core principles of social
justice, and of learning and teaching, in community practice and
policy work, and maximizing community action and participation in
participatory action research. And in addition to her
recommendations for ethical practice and professional development,
the author's self-reflexive presentation models necessary steps for
readers to take in building their own careers. Among the topics
covered: Self-reflections on power relations in community practice.
Learning about the decolonial lens. Empowerment as transformative
practice. Policy work during post-apartheid years. Developing
teaching and learning theories and practices. Power and Identity in
the Struggle for Social Justice will act as both an interesting and
a valuable resource for people working or planning to work with
people in various community contexts. This includes psychologists
who practice community psychology, social workers, and other
community practitioners, particularly in social development,
health, and education settings.
