| Summary: | In recent decades, there has been an increase in the Canadian and US literature focused on Afrocentricity/Africentricity, exploring the theory and practice principles implied by this worldview. Most of this writing and research has been in the context of the education system. Although there is some general discussion about an Africentric social work, there is very little that is focused on how to engage in Africentric-centered social work practice. This edited book provides specific practice modalities working in the areas of poverty, violence against women, mental health, child welfare, aging, youth, immigration and health. One of the unique aspects of the book is the dual focus on both first and second generation people of African descent in Canada and the United States. |
