Description
In this revised and updated edition, Neil Thompson presents a clear and accessible analysis of the complexities of discrimination and oppression and the challenges of making equality practice a reality. Critical of the orthodoxies and over-simplications of "political correctness", "Promoting Equality" combines analysis and understanding of theory with practice examples and insights. Promoting equality and valuing diversity, this book should be of value to students, practitioners, managers and educators in a variety of professions and settings concerned with people and their problems.
Reviews / Votes
'The works of Neil Thompson on anti-discriminatory practice, anti-oppression and equality have become well-known and highly respected standard reading for practising social workers and especially for students on social work courses. Any new book by Thompson, taking his views and analyses further, must therefore be strongly welcomed.' - Paul Williams, British Journal of Social WorkMore details
