This
edited collection focuses on Africentric social work practice,
providing invaluable assistance to undergraduate students in
developing foundational skills and knowledge to further their
understanding of how to initiate and maintain best practices with
African Canadians. In social work education and field practice,
students will benefit from the depth and breadth of this book's
discussions of social, health, and educational concerns related to
Black people across Canada.
The
book's contributors present a broad spectrum of personal and
professional experiences as African Canadian social work
practitioners, students and educators. They address issues that
African Canadians confront daily, which social work educators and
potential practitioners need to understand to provide racially and
culturally relevant services.
The
book presents students with an invaluable opportunity to develop
their practical skills through case studies and critical thinking
exercises, with recommendations for how to ethically and culturally
engage in African-centred service provision.
In
addition, scholars with an interest in Africentric social work
practice and research will find this text useful to help support
their commitment to advancing racially and culturally relevant
learning and teaching.
