Case Critical: Social Services and Social Justice in Canada

by Ben Carniol, Banakonda Kennedy-Kish, Raven Sinclair

This latest edition of Case Critical applies decolonized, critical analysis to highlight what is often hidden from view for most Canadians: the personal trauma and communal devastation inflicted on Indigenous people by past and present colonialism and the ways in which neoliberal tax cuts, austerity, and privatization create more inequality, homelessness, and despair among both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Social service providers, the authors argue, should become social activists, working in solidarity with progressive grassroots social movements in order to de-legitimatize colonial and neoliberal policies.

I read this for my Social Work 2120 class, and I found it very insightful into the challenges faces social workers today. Easy to read and follow.
