Pre-Owned Globalization and International Social Work : Postmodern Change and Challenge 9780754649465 Used

The authors' explore and question the concepts of 'postmodern', alongside 'international' and 'global' in the light of growing interest in international social work in the early 21st century. They explore these concepts and the impact on social work and assess the implications of postmodern societies for practitioners, students and academics. With an emphasis on critical-reflection the authors' argue that educational colonization can be challenged and 'effective anti-discriminatory and pro-equality practice and education' promoted. Each chapter provides a 'practice focus' giving direct examples of how these ideas can be applied in practice and in learning. The book will appeal to academics interested in international social work and to practitioners and students who will find the book accessible without having international experience.
