Race and Groupwork (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781861770110)

Groupwork literature and practice theory is largely eurocentric. The issues facing black groupworkers and the groupwork needs of service users from minority communities are inadequately addressed in available material. In some countries anti-racist and race equality perspectives are now under attack. Race and Groupwork provides a coherent overview of its subject. The Editors have included innovative material by front-line practitioners working with black and multiracial groups as well as articles on the theoretical and philosophical principals raised. Several articles reflect on some of the inhibiting and oppressive organisational factors which can hamper this important work, and suggest approaches which might enable more facilitative policies.
