“This edited volume by Wehbi and Parada is a must-read for those social workers and educators who are keenly interested in anti-oppressive social work and how it is practiced in Canada…. Each chapter provides insightful and innovative examples of the implementation of anti-oppressive practice or strong recommendations related to how this practice framework could be applied. The contributors under the leadership of the editorial team have addressed a major void in the Canadian literature on anti-oppressive social work. With this volume, social workers are well-positioned to continue the struggle to ensure a more equitable Canadian society.” —David Este, PhD, MSW, Faculty of Social Work, University of Calgary
“This volume has creatively advanced the knowledge base of anti-oppressive social work through detailed applications to individual, community, organizational, and educational emancipatory practices. Wehbi and Parada have respectfully responded to the practice critique of AOP through a concise illustration of applied engagement with practice. They have brought together an expertise of creatively applied AOP across the terrain of social work. Social work students, practitioners, and educators must read, reflect, and engage with this volume.” —Judy E. MacDonald, PhD, MSW, School of Social Work, Dalhousie University
