This co-edited volume does just that, and in so doing, it reveals a thriving subcurrent of othered ways of researching and teaching social work. This in turn opens new spaces for teaching and talking about social work in a manner that is more just, culturally sensitive, and attuned to structural power relations. Furthermore, it calls new attention to structural power relations still at play in many of the best-intentioned attempts to decolonize methodologies and pedagogies: while the chapters gathered here question the assumptions and current directions of empirical scientific research and academic education, they also engage critically with the risks of cultural appropriation endemic to pluriversal approaches, themselves, appropriations that would ultimately reproduce the exploitation mechanisms they aim to resist.
For its thought-provoking, highly original attention to important, even foundational, but badly neglected issues within the field, this book is a must-read for all scholars and students of social work, and particularly for those interested in issues related to diversity, pedagogy, or the history of the profession. It is also of keen interest for practitioners wishing to cast a critical eye on their own education and practice.
