This book is a novel contribution to academic discourses on the
coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis and how it has impacted societies
globally. It proffers an overview on the social development and
political measures, from both the Global North and Global South, to
prevent COVID-19's spread. It illuminates major social, political
and economic challenges that already existed in different contexts
and which are also currently being amplified by COVID-19.
Curiously, this global pandemic has opened spaces for different
actors, across the globe, to begin to fundamentally question and
challenge the hegemony of the Global North, which sometimes is
evident in social work. Linked to the foregoing and while
reflecting beyond the pandemic and into the future, the book
proposes that social work must become more political at all levels,
and strive to transform societies, global social development
efforts, and economic and health systems. This contributed volume
of 38 chapters discusses and analyses ethical, social,
sociological, social work and social development issues that
complement and enrich available literature in the socio-political,
economics, public health, medical ethics and political science. It
provides various case studies which should enable readers to gain
insights into how countries have responded to the pandemic and
learn how COVID-19 negatively impacted countries in different parts
of the world. This book also provides a platform for the
articulation of neglected and marginalized voices, such as those of
indigenous populations, the poor, or oppressed. The chapters are
grouped according to three main themes as they relate to research
on the COVID-19 pandemic and social work in Africa, Asia, Europe,
Latin America and North America: Analysis: Social Issues and the
COVID-19 Pandemic Strategies and Responses in Social Work: Globally
and Locally Outlook: Looking Ahead Beyond the Pandemic Intended to
engage a global, diverse and interdisciplinary audience, The
Coronavirus Crisis and Challenges to Social Development is a timely
and relevant resource for academics, students and researchers in
inter alia Social Work, Philosophy, Sociology, Economics, and
Development Studies.
By demonstrating that Western conceptions of 'civil society' have
provided the framework for interpreting societies in the Global
South, Decolonizing Civil Society in Mozambique argues that it is
only through a critical deconstruction of these concepts that we
can start to re-balance global power relationships, both in
academic discourse and in development practices. Examining the
exclusionary discourses framing the support for Western-type NGOs
in the development discourse - often to the exclusion of local
social actors - this book dissects mainstream contemporary ideas
about 'civil society', and finds a new means by which to identify
local forms of social action, often based in traditional structures
and spiritual discourses. Outlining new conceptual ideas for an
alternative framing of Mozambique's 'civil society', Kleibl
proposes a series of fresh theoretical issues and questions
alongside empirical research, moving towards a series of new policy
and practice arguments for rethinking and decolonizing civil
society in the Global South.
The Routledge Handbook of Postcolonial Social Work reflects on and
dissects the challenging issues confronting social work practice
and education globally in the post-colonial era. By analysing how
countries in the so-called developing and developed world have
navigated some of the inherited systems from the colonial era, it
shows how they have used them to provide relevant social work
methods which are also responsive to the needs of a postcolonial
setting. This is an analytical and reflexive handbook that brings
together different scholars from various parts of the world - both
North and South - so as to distill ideas from scholars relating to
ways that can advance social work of the South and critique social
work of the North in so far as it is used as a template for social
work approaches in postcolonial settings. It determines whether and
how approaches, knowledge-bases, and methods of social work have
been indigenised and localised in the Global South in the
postcolonial era. This handbook provides the reader with multiple
new theoretical approaches and empirical experiences and creates a
space of action for the most marginalised communities worldwide. It
will be of interest to researchers and practitioners, as well as
those in social work education.
