Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Social Work: A Conversation We Are Yet to Have
Section 10: Theories of Colonialism, Colonization and Coloniality for Social Work
From: Critical Social Work Praxis
$1.90
Building on the non-violent philosophies of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi, Paul Banahene Adjei proposes that social work can no longer ignore oppression and violence, particularly racist and colonial violence. Adjei offers an antidote to depoliticized social work through an explicit and thoughtful anti-colonial ethical praxis built on principles of non-violence.
