Anti-Racist Work with Young People : European Experiences and Approaches

The contributions in this book reflect the work experience of practitioners from a variety of European countries including the UK. Together they offer a challenging range of practice-based and theoretical perspectives which provides a fascinating insight into the development of effective anti-racist work with young people, transcending national boundaries.
The majority of the writers are themselves members of minority ethnic groups in their countries of residence and they have all experienced being 'on the receiving end' of racism.
Anti-racist work with young people offers important concepts, case studies and practice methods for anyone wanting to develop their own anti-racist work with young people. It includes case study material from the UK, the Netherlands, Germany and Italy; comparative sections on the role of education and the social professions in the European states, the development of programmes to combat racism, and the role of language in marginalising minority groups; and principles and practice for anti-racist work.
