Re-Imagining Social Work Resistance: Knowledge, Bodies and solidarities
From: Doing Anti-Oppressive Social Work
$1.80
In this chapter, three acts of resistance that can be used to unsettle dominant and inequitable social work approaches and practices in micro, meso and macro contexts. The first is actively questioning the liberal individualism embedded in Western social work knowledge. The second is not forgetting and not erasing marginalized bodies within and by institutions of power. The third is resisting institutional practices that destroy coalitional relationships and solidarities.
