Critical Race Theory in Action - Knowledge and Application in Social Work Practice

This book presents an expansive collection of case studies focused on Critical Race Theory (CRT), offering insights into understanding racial oppression and its societal impacts. Featuring contributions from expert practitioner–scholars, chapters introduce core tenets of CRT and explore how CRT can be applied across a range of different contexts, providing practical examples of how CRT can be implemented into the curriculum. By dividing its case studies at the micro, mezzo, and macro level, the text demonstrates how CRT is relevant for different levels of social work practice and contributes to ongoing movements to apply an anti-oppressive approach into all areas of social work. The first book of its kind, this is an essential resource for anyone seeking to develop their knowledge and explore how CRT can be used to enhance social work practice across a range of different settings.
