Edited by Amanda Gebhard, Sheelah McLean, and Verna St. Denis
Jacqueline B. Mondros and Joan Minieri
This second edition of Organizing for Power and Empowerment draws on extensive research to portray how social-action organizations have evolved over the past twenty-five years, building power in the struggle for social and economic justice. It explores how organizers increasingly target corporate influence and attacks on democracy. Their strategies and theories of change confront racial, gender, and economic inequity and fight pervasive intersectional injustice. $35.00 / £28.00 paper 978-0-231-18945-3 $140.00 / £108.00 cloth 978-0-231-18944-6
When working with Indigenous people, the helping professions—education, social work, health care and justice—reinforce the colonial lie that Indigenous people need saving. In White Benevolence, leading antiracism scholars reveal the ways in which white settlers working in these institutions shape, defend, and uphold institutional racism, even while professing to support Indigenous people. $28.00 cloth 978-1-77363-522-4 2022 256 pages

Politics for Social Workers
When Governments Fail
A Practical Guide to Effecting Change
A Pandemic and Its Aftermath Edited by Vikas Rawal, Jayati Ghosh, and C. P. Chandrasekhar
Stephen Pimpare
This book is a concise, accessible guide to help social workers understand how politics and policy making really work—and what they can do to help their clients and their communities. It offers informed, practical grounding in the mechanics of policy making and the tools that activists and outsiders can use to take on an entrenched system.
The COVID-19 pandemic has generated human suffering and economic devastation—but these reflect not only the impact of the disease but also the policy failures of governments. This volume brings together analyses of other countries' responses to evaluate what has worked and what hasn’t—and potential directions for the future.
