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.
While the remit of social work professionals is, in general,
locality-based, social work has a long tradition of concern about
international issues. Broadening Horizons provides an engaging and
original contribution to the debate on how to tackle social work
problems on a global scale. Filling both a theoretical and a
practice gap in the literature, the book discusses the experiences
of academics, practitioners and students involved in international
exchanges in social work. It draws on a major EU-Canadian exchange
project as well as separate projects in countries including South
Africa, the USA, China and Australia. The contributors highlight
the opportunities and barriers that shaped their experience and
give guidance on how to deal with both the practicalities and
aspirations of living and working across borders. This book will
thus be invaluable both to readers interested in the meaning and
realities of international social work and to those hoping to
embark on an exchange programme themselves.

Through in-depth qualitative research with African Canadians in
three Canadian cities--Calgary, Toronto, and Halifax--this study
explores how experiences of racism, when combined with other social
and economic factors, affect the health and well-being of this
segment of the country`s population. With a special interest in how
racial stereotyping impacts black men and boys, the book presents
stories of racism and violence and describes how reactions to
racism differ across a range of social and economic variables. In
addition, the discussion rejects the notion that black communities
are homogeneous and provides a detailed examination of three
distinct communities: Caribbean, immigrant African, and Canadian
black.
Mothers and Sons: Centering Mother Knowledge makes a case for the
need to de-gender the framing and study of parental legacy. The
actualization of an entire collection on this dyad foregrounding
motherhood without particularizing the absence of fatherhood is in
itself revolutionary. This assemblage of analytical, narrative and
creative renderings offers cross-disciplinary conceptualizations of
maternal experiences across difference and mothering sons at
intersections. The authors' mother knowledge, or that of their
subjects, delivers new insights into the appellations mother, son,
motherhood and sonhood.
Women in the "Promised Land" places African Canadian women's lived
experiences, identities, and histories at the centre of Canada's
past. This collection of original research edited by leading

Canada as a "Promised Land" by examining the rich and varied
history of African Canadian women. The nine chapters span the early
1830's of slavery through to the late twentieth centuries of
activism. This interdisciplinary collection draws on existing
research from cultural studies, literary studies, communications,
and visual culture to reframe familiar figures in African Canadian
women's history, such as feminist Mary Ann Shadd and civil rights
activist Viola Desmond, in the wider African diaspora. This
invaluable text sheds light on questions of the past, present, and
future in the field, and is best suited for undergraduate courses
in women's studies, African studies, sociology, and history.

that examines African Canadian women's history through a visual
culture lens includes chapter abstracts, questions for discussion,
and a bibliographic appendix encourages readers to make connections
between African Canadian women's history and emerging scholarship
