Globalization and international social work: Postmodern change and challenge

Abstract

The authors to this key volume explore and question the concepts of 'postmodern', 'international' and 'global' in light of growing interest in international social work in the early 21st century. Emphasizing the importance of critical reflection, they debate whether educational colonization can be challenged and effective anti-discriminatory and pro-equality practice and education promoted. © Malcolm Payne and Gurid Aga Askeland 2008.
