Walking This Path Together

Anti-Racist and Anti-Oppressive Child Welfare Practice

Herausgeber: Carriere, Jeannine; Strega, Susan

Beschreibung

This is a timely book as many child welfare agencies are beginning the journey of implementing an anti-oppressive framework into practice. With several chapters by Indigenous scholars, the plight of our children remains in the spotlight. An underlying message in this book is that if the challenges for Indigenous child welfare can be properly addressed, then those of all other marginalized populations will follow. Cyndy Baskin, School of Social Work, Chair of Aboriginal Education Council, Ryerson University"
