Reviews

This book invites an honest, respectful, and critical rumination on social work theory and practice with Black Africans in western countries...It seeks to fuse multiple perspectives and philosophies on the disempowerment of the Black African diaspora because of universalised European hierarchies of power within and beyond the social work profession. In short, it is a very important intellectual work. Indeed, it is...probably the only book of this kind currently available. Critical Social Policy
