商品描述
Despite committed effort to integrate postcolonial theory and decolonizing practices in human rights education in social work, there is scant literature offering a more balanced global perspective. This book addresses that need. Included here are discursive voices contributed by social work colleagues whose work is impacted by postcolonial realities. The task of decolonizing social work as a human rights profession calls for the inclusion of contesting perspectives from social work activists, human rights advocates and educators whose critical standpoints are drawn from the historical context of Global North-South relations. This book is essential given the many manifestations of global injustice, wars and climate catastrophes. The critical involvement of social workers in decolonized human rights advocacy is at no period in history, more urgent than now.
The book:
- Engages readers in reflective discourse over the contentious manner human rights principles are referenced by social work practitioners within the context of contemporary North-South geopolitics
- Explores dilemmas, conflicts, challenges and limitations experienced by social workers worldwide while upholding human rights principles
- Uses critical case studies that expose how the vestiges of colonialism continue to impact communities
- Identifies areas of human rights advocacy where social work succeeds, and where it is confronted by limiting challenges
- Emphasizes the importance of human rights education and practice in the context of global inequalities
Decolonized Approaches to Human Rights and Social Work provides models of good practice the world over in human rights advocacy. It is timely and essential reading for faculty who teach courses in social work, social development, community organization, human rights and social justice, as well as for students in social work, law, sociology, global studies and human rights. The book should draw readers who work in non-governmental organizations, international development agencies, advocacy groups, and community-based and grassroots organizations. International research centers, law clinics and organizations serving migrants and refugees would find it a useful resource.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
儘管在社會工作的人權教育中，努力將後殖民理論和去殖民化實踐整合，但相關文獻卻少之又少，無法提供更平衡的全球視角。本書正是針對這一需求而編寫。書中包含了社會工作同仁的討論聲音，他們的工作受到後殖民現實的影響。將社會工作作為人權專業進行去殖民化的任務，呼籲納入來自社會工作活動家、人權倡導者和教育者的不同觀點，這些觀點的批判立場源自全球南北關係的歷史背景。考慮到全球不公、戰爭和氣候災難的多種表現形式，本書顯得尤為重要。社會工作者在去殖民化的人權倡導中的關鍵參與，歷史上從未像現在這樣迫切。
本書：
- 讓讀者反思當前南北地緣政治背景下，社會工作從業者如何引用人權原則的爭議性方式
- 探討全球社會工作者在堅持人權原則時所面臨的困境、衝突、挑戰和限制
- 使用批判性案例研究，揭示殖民遺留如何持續影響社區
- 確定社會工作在人權倡導中成功的領域，以及面臨限制挑戰的地方
- 強調在人權教育和實踐中，全球不平等背景的重要性
《去殖民化的人權與社會工作方法》提供了全球人權倡導的良好實踐模型。這本書對於教授社會工作、社會發展、社區組織、人權和社會正義課程的教職員，以及社會工作、法律、社會學、全球研究和人權的學生來說，都是及時且必讀的資料。它應該能吸引在非政府組織、國際發展機構、倡導團體以及基層組織工作的讀者。國際研究中心、法律診所和服務於移民及難民的組織也會發現這是一本有用的資源。
