Produktbeschreibung

This book is about conscientisation or the raising of consciousness - the awakening of the mind to what some refer to as 'social reality'. It features accounts of the life experiences of people and how they broke free from dominant ways of thinking that significantly influenced their early lives. It will be of interest to practitioners, educators and students of social work, community development, social development and social pedagogy as well as those engaged in the promotion of human rights and social justice.
