Phone Calls, Anti-Oppressive Practice and the Relentless Cadence of Transformation

Section 4: Anti-Oppressive Practice

New!

From: Critical Social Work Praxis

$1.50

The author explores her belief that AOP theory alone does not produce effective, sustainable results in the elimination of oppression and oppressive practices; rather, she argues that without the personal motivation to deliberately and strategically engage in a practice of politicized labour, AOP will simply remain for many an academic exercise in how oppression shapes racialized, gendered, sexualized, disabled and other oppositional subjectivities. She draws on her own experiences to illustrate her points.
