Opis

Social work literature often reflects powerful ahistorical tendencies. These tendencies have produced analyses of social issues that lack awareness of both the contemporary environment and the historical forces that shaped it. The lack of awareness of the relationship between historical and current events also contributes to the passive approach many students take to education and prevents students and practitioners from developing a critical perspective and engaging in politically informed practice.
