A call to arms for social work to reimagine a critical engagement with contemporary power and politics to frame a socially just world in the midst of chaos, turmoil and political instability. * Carolyn Noble, Emeritus Professor ACAP Sydney, Australia * This new Handbook of Power, Politics and Social Work, edited by Rajender Baikady and his colleagues, provides a comprehensive and informative overview of social work's engagement with power and politics around the world. Focusing on social work education, the collection shows how educators are enhancing the curriculum to address different dimensions of power and prepare students to promote social justice in their future careers. It offers many important insights into the issues and should be widely consulted. * James Midgley, University of California, Berkeley *
