This much-needed textbook provides a fresh understanding of the radical tradition and shows how it can be developed in contemporary social work.

This book is full of analysis and ideas about how social work education can confront the individualising and often blaming form of social work that neoliberalism ushered in four decades ago.

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the seminal text Radical Social Work (1975), this volume has been compiled to explore the radical tradition within social work and assess its legacy, relevance and prospects. It is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduates studying social work, as well as social work academics and researchers.
