Doing Anti-Oppressive Social Work brings together critical social
work authors to passionately engage with pressing social issues,
and to pose new solutions, practices and analysis in the context of
growing inequities and the need for reconciliation, decolonization
and far-reaching change. The book presents strong intersectional
perspectives and practice, engaging closely with decolonization,
re-Indigenization, resistance and social justice. Like the first
three editions, the 4th edition foregrounds the voices of those
less heard in social work academia and to provide cutting-edge
critical reflection and skills, including social work's
relationship to the state, and social work's responsibility to
individuals, communities and its own ethics and standards of
practice. Indigenous, Black, racialized, transgender, (dis)Ability
and allied scholars offer identity-engaged and intersectional
analyses on a wide-range of issues facing those working with
intersectional cultural humility, racism and child welfare, poverty
and single mothers, critical gerontology and older people, and
immigrant and racialized families. This 4th edition of Doing
Anti-Oppressive Social Work goes well beyond its predecessors,
updating and revising popular chapters, but also problematizing AOP
and engaging closely with new and emerging issues.
Although settler colonialism is a deeply entrenched structural
problem, Indigenous peoples have always resisted it and sought to
protect their land, sovereignty, and treaties. Some settlers have
aimed to support Indigenous peoples in these struggles. This book
examines what happens when settlers engage with and attempt to
transform settler colonial systems. What does 'decolonizing' action
look like? What roles can settlers play? What challenges,
complexities, and barriers arise? And what opportunities and
possibilities emerge? The authors emphasize the need for settlers
to develop long-term relationships of accountability with
Indigenous peoples and the land, participate in meaningful
dialogue, and respect Indigenous laws and jurisdiction. Writing
from multiple disciplinary lenses, and focusing on diverse research
settings, from Turtle Island (North America) to Palestine, the
authors show that transforming settler colonial relations and
consciousness is an ongoing, iterative, and unsettling process that
occurs through social justice-focused action, critical
self-reflection, and dynamic-yet-committed relationships with
Indigenous peoples. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Settler Colonial Studies.
Memories. Some memories are elusive, fleeting, like a butterfly
that touches down and is free until it is caught. Others are
haunting. You'd rather forget them, but they won't be forgotten.
And some are always there. No matter where you are, they are there,
too. In this moving story of legacy and reclamation, two young
sisters are taken from their home and family. Powerless in a broken
system, April and Cheryl are separated and placed in different
foster homes. Despite the distance, they remain close, even as
their decisions threaten to divide them emotionally, culturally,
and geographically. As one sister embraces her Métis identity, the
other tries to leave it behind. Will the sisters' bond survive as
they struggle to make their way in a society that is often
indifferent, hostile, and violent? Beloved for more than 40 years,
In Search of April Raintree is a timeless story that lingers long
after the final page. This anniversary edition features a foreword
by Governor General's Award-winning author Katherena Vermette, and
an afterword by University of Regina professor, Dr. Raven Sinclair
(Ôtiskewâpit), an expert on Indigenous child welfare.

During the 60s Scoop, over 20,000 Indigenous children in Canada
were removed from their biological families, lands and culture and
trafficked across provinces, borders and overseas to be raised in
non-Indigenous households. Ohpikiihaakan-ohpihmeh delves into the
personal and provocative narrative of Colleen Cardinal's journey
growing up in a non- Indigenous household as a 60s Scoop adoptee.
Cardinal speaks frankly and intimately about instances of violence
and abuse throughout her life, but this book is not a story of
tragedy. It is a story of empowerment, reclamation and, ultimately,
personal reconciliation. It is a form of Indigenous resistance
through truth-telling, a story that informs the narrative on
missing and murdered Indigenous women, colonial violence, racism
and the Indigenous child welfare system.
