Synopsis:
An invitation and challenge to students and practitioners to tackle the personal and institutional obstacles preventing the social work profession from realizing its mandate to promote social justice. Systemic racism is centered as the foundation oppression of our country to provide the gateway for understanding and dismantling all other systems of oppression. Garcia and Van Soest probe essential questions about how social justice theories, institutional practices, and deep-seated personal and societal belief systems function to rationalize and support oppression, and they provide numerous exercises as a guide to increased awareness, understanding, and anti-oppression action. This book replaces the earlier edition, Social Work Practice for Social Justice: Cultural Competence in Action.
About the Author: Dorothy Van Soest is professor emerita and former dean of the School of Social Work at the University of Washington with a BA in English literature and a master’s and PhD in social work. She has taught courses at several universities related to societal oppression, cultural diversity, and social work practice for social justice and served on several national committees and boards, including Affilia, NASW, and CSWE. Dr. Van Soest has a publication record of 13 books and more than 60 articles or essays related to social justice theory, research, and activism. In 2014 she turned to writing fiction with four published novels, each of which deals with a current social issue. (www.dorothyvansoest.com). Betty Garcia is professor emerita at the Department of Social Work Education at California State University, Fresno, and obtained an MSW at San Diego State and a PhD in social psychology at Boston University. Dr. Garcia has taught courses in direct practice, public mental health, diversity/oppression, and project/thesis.
