| Abstract |
"This handbook highlights innovative and affect-driven feminist dialogues, that inspires social work practice, education and research across the globe. The editors have actively gathered the many (at times silenced) feminist voices and their allies together in this book which reflects current and contested feminist landscapes through 52 chapters from leading feminist social work scholars from the many branches and movements of feminist thought and practice. The breath and width of this collection encompasses work from diverse socio-political contexts across the globe including Central and South America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and Australasia. The book is divided into six parts as follows: -Decoloniality, Indigeneity and Radical Theorising -Feminist Social Work in Fields of Practice -Academy and Feminist Research -The Politics of Care -Allyship, Profeminisms and Queer Perspectives -Engaging with the Environment and the More-than-Human The above sections present the diverse feminisms that have influenced social work which provides a range of engaging, informative and thought-provoking chapters that can be discussed, acknowledged, respected, and critiqued.. These chapters highlight that feminists still face the battle of working towards ending gender-based violence, discrimination, exploitation, and oppression, and therefore it is urgent that we feature the many contemporary examples of activism, resistance, best practice, and opportunities to emphasise the different ways feminisms remain central to social work knowledge and practice. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of social work and related disciplinary areas including the social and human sciences, global and social politics and policy, human rights, environmental and sustainability programs and citizenship and women's studies"-- Provided by publisher. |
