Tackling Institutional Racism

"This book describes and analyses the development of anti-racist social work education and training and moves on to a broader debate. Issues such as 'political correctness' and 'identity politics' are critically explored, and the implications of these political processes on the anti-racist policy agenda are assessed. The analysis reflects on both the possibilities and limitations of establishing anti-racist policies." "Tackling Institutional Racism will be of particular interest to Diploma in Social Work students, social work practitioners and academics, social policy undergraduates and postgraduates. It should also be read by professionals at different levels in the policy-making process, particularly those working directly with, acting on behalf of, or pursuing the interests of the black community."--Jacket.
