Böcker i Groupwork S.-serien

Groupwork literature and practice theory is largely eurocentric. The issues facing black groupworkers and the groupwork needs of service users from minority communities are inadequately addressed in available material. In some countries anti-racist and race equality perspectives are now under attack.Race and Groupwork provides a coherent overview of its subject. The Editors have included innovative material by front-line practitioners working with black and multiracial groups as well as articles on the theoretical and philosophical principals raised. Several articles reflect on some of the inhibiting and oppressive organisational factors which can hamper this important work, and suggest approaches which might enable more facilitative policies.

Since its first issue in 1988, much interesting and inspiring material has been published in Groupwork. Most of this still says much of use to today's groupworkers, and there is a steady stream of requests for reprints. We are therefore making back volumes of Groupwork available in volume form.Authors in this volume include leading academic figures in the field as well as practitioners working in the field. Any groupworker will find this material of enduring interest.
