Diversity, Oppression, and Change: Culturally Grounded Social Work

by Flavio Francisco Marsiglia, Stephen Kulis

Diversity, Oppression, and Change explores the relationship between cultural diversity, oppression, and social change and their implications for the social work profession and allied fields. The culturally grounded perspective describes specific ways of helping and integrates these methods into social work practice, policy, and research. This book moves beyond cultural awareness to provide a theoretical framework, a comprehensive review of methods, and applied case studies as tools for integrating essential knowledge about the cultural backgrounds of communities and clients into everyday interactions.

[Jessica Spoon]

very informative and easy to read

[John D Sutton]

There is a lot to seriously consider in this book, however I don't think that looking for oppression in every social interaction is helpful.
