This book examines the social construction and representation of ‘youth on the move’ in context of the migration process using El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras as a case study to reinterpret the immigration process under the frameworks of coloniality and Epistemologies of the South. The discussion surrounding Central American migrants has increased exponentially with the emergence of the caravans and the increased security measures along Mexican and US borders. Explicitly focused on the plight of children and young people, the examination of migration includes exploring the global context and dynamics that influence migratory trends and framing Central American migrant processes and youth strategies of survival and resistance. Contributing to existing conversations about the migration of people from Central America, this text seeks to understand the phenomenon’s root. This book will interest scholars and students across the social sciences, particularly those studying the global dynamics of power and studies of migration, governance, as well as practitioners involved in decision-making with governments and international organizations.
This reflective collection examines anti-oppressive research methods and the effective implementation of those methods within social work settings. Comparing phenomenological, auto-ethnographic, survey-based, and arts-based research approaches, Reimagining Anti-Oppression Social Work Research outlines the challenges and advantages of conducting research with marginalized communities and within organizational contexts. Students in social work programs will gain a thorough understanding of the decision-making processes involved in conducting anti-oppression research studies through contemporary examples of anti-oppression research applications and personal experiences within the field. Research topics include whiteness, racism, trans experiences, disability, feminism, and institutional social services, among others.
This informative resource responds to recent developments in social work practices in North America and abroad through its exploration of anti-oppression practice. This groundbreaking collection demonstrates the transformative potential of inclusive practices, such as in Indigenous practice principles, through concrete examples of anti-oppression work with marginalized populations. Contributors also reveal how anti-oppression approaches more strongly combat a diversity of social issues, including anti-Black sanism, normative constructions of grief, discrimination against queer populations, and children and youth injustices. Accessible and engaging, Reimagining Anti-Oppression Social Work Practice will appeal to industry professionals and undergraduate students interested in examining original research on social work practitioners’ experiences with anti-oppression practices.
