Description

This book from Routledge provides a deep examination of how social work knowledge is constructed, understood, and used. It focuses on the epistemic level to show how social work has been shaped by a white western paradigm. Since emerging from the western Enlightenment world, the profession has privileged white western knowledge in ways that have remained largely unexamined within professional discourse. By looking at how knowledge is transmitted and used, this work addresses the need for a critique of whiteness within the field. The text explores how the imposition of these western ways of knowing has led to the marginalization of other perspectives. This is an essential resource for those looking to understand the historical and structural foundations of social work and the necessity of changing how knowledge is valued in the profession.
