Description - Social Work in Europe by Charlotte Williams
It is an acknowledged, if not accepted, fact that all European societies are being fundamentally transformed, and indeed perceptively unsettled, by increased migrations across nations and by the asserted presence of established minorities within their borders. The scale and speed at which these transformations have taken place have brought in their wake considerable social impacts and no small measure of fear and anxiety. Encounters with such diversity are part and parcel of the social work task and learning how to negotiate them should be a de facto aspect of the training and continuous professional development of social workers and other social professions. What is however more contested are the moral and political dimensions of this brief: the role, scope and nature of the social work task in responding appropriately to these changed and changing realities. This volume addresses many of the dimensions of that response to issues of race and ethnicity in social work practice in Europe. It extends the debates on inter-cultural and race equality practice in social work through a stimulating and innovative collection of contributions.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the European Journal of Social Work.
