Challenging Oppression and Confronting Privilege | 0:e upplagan

Challenging Oppression and Confronting Privilege is the definitive guide to anti-oppressive and anti-privilege social work, which is a prominent part of social work theory and practice today. Bob Mullaly and Juliana West examine the many forms that oppression and privilege can take at the personal, cultural, and structural levels. They outline the necessary practices and approaches that social work must adopt to fight against oppression and privilege, and to assist those who have been oppressed.

This much-anticipated new edition has been fully updated and revised to include a thorough discussion of privilege. The authors explore the practical implications of anti-oppression and anti-privilege - and share their own encounters with these concepts - in Case Example and Personal Experience boxes. Discussion questions encourage students to look at issues through a critical lens.
