Anti-racism has a long history within the profession of social work
and its education. Despite an agenda within higher education which
promotes internationalization and practice which recognizes
diversity, little has been written to address the question of why
black African students have a different experience from others on
their social work educational journey. This book is based upon the
authors' experience as educators and their own research about and
with black students' experience of racism and 'otherness' within
social work practice and education. Radical and honest in nature,
it re-visits anti-racism within social work practice and education
from a student focused and informed perspective based on lived
experience and conversations. This book will be of interest to all
social work students, educators and policy makers with an interest
in anti-racism and diversity. It includes practical models and
tried and tested tools to help the reader work through these
issues. "Tools that can assist students in discussing uncomfortable
issues in the classroom are to be welcomed, and this book is thus a
valuable resource. This book offers many examples of how racism can
be addressed in social work education and training. Important
features of the book are the summaries of key pieces of research in
each chapter, as well as, case studies and critical questions,
which provide a springboard for discussion. It offers a timely
reminder that discussion about race and anti-racist forms of
pedagogical approaches for teaching has fallen off the agenda. It
is written in an accessible style, is an engaging read, and this is
a welcome addition to the literature." Dr Claudia Bernard,
Goldsmiths College
Social work has often been described as the fifth emergency
service. When disaster strikes, long after our colleagues from
health, fire and police services have been and gone, social workers
stick around to pick up the pieces. Out of the Shadows is the first
book to be published focusing on the role of UK social workers in
disasters. Their involvement goes beyond the initial crisis as the
impact of disasters have long term consequences such as
displacement, loss, psychological issues and survivor guilt. This
book focuses on the poignant and important personal stories of
people with lived experiences of disaster. It also include voices
of social workers and their organisational leaders who have been
directly involved in providing support in disasters, their
reflections and sharing learning for the future. The impact of
disasters not only affect those directly affected but also
individuals, families, groups and local communities locally,
nationally and internationally. This book provides an important
opportunity to share and develop knowledge, skills, best practice
and learning from disasters nationally and internationally and from
social workers who have been directly involved in emergency
responses as well as from the communities they have served.
