Emphasizing the importance of critical reflection, the authors argue that educational colonization can be challenged and effective anti-discriminatory and pro-equality practice and education promoted." "Each chapter focuses on direct examples of how students and academics can apply these ideas in practice and in their learning, and how they can respond to and influence the challenges and changes that are taking place. The authors also examine educational and practice issues arising from attempts to incorporate international understanding into national practice and education systems. The book is designed to be stimulating to academics interested in international social work while remaining accessible to practitioners and students without international experience."--BOOK JACKET.
