Opis

This book seeks to trouble taken-for-granted assumptions of anthropocentrism and humanism in social work - that which perpetuates human privilege and human exceptionalism. The edited collection provides a different imaginary for social work by introducing ways of thinking otherwise, which challenge human exceptionalism.
