Description: Abolition and Social Work : Possibilities, Paradoxes, and the Practice of Community Care, Hardcover by Kim, Mimi (EDT); Rasmussen, Cameron (EDT); Washington, Durrell M. (EDT); Kaba, Mariame (FRW), ISBN 9798888901366, ISBN-13 9798888901366, Brand New, Free shipping in the US A critical anthology exploring the debates, conundrums, and promising practices around abolition and social work in academia and within impacted communities. Within social work—a profession that has been intimately tied to and often complicit in the building and sustaining of the carceral state—abolitionist thinking, movement-building, and radical praxis are shifting the field. Critical scholarship and organizing have helped to name and examine the realities of carceral social work as a form of “soft policing.” For radical social work, abolition moves beyond critique to the politics of possibility. Featuring a foreword by Mariame Kaba, Abolition and Social Work offers an orientation to abolitionist theory for social workers and explores the tensions and paradoxes in realizing abolitionist practice in social work—a necessary intervention in contemporary discourse regarding carceral social work, and a compass for recentering this work through the lens of abolition, transformative justice, and collective care.
