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.

For the Common Good is an anthology of selected essays by Dr. Harold Lewis, one of the intellectual leaders of the social work profession. Social work literature often reflects powerful ahistorical tendencies which, in recent years, have produced analyses of social issues that lack awareness of both the contemporary environment and the historical forces that shaped it. Lewis' insights into the nature and purpose of social work help fill some of these historical and conceptual gaps, and present a clearer picture of social work's true place in our society.

In a world where genocide, hunger, poverty, war, and disease persist and where richer nations often fail to act to address these problems or act too late, a prerequisite to achieving even modest social justice goals is to clarify the meaning of competing discourses on the concept. Throughout history, calls for social justice have been used to rationalize the status quo, promote modest reforms, and justify revolutionary, even violent action. Ironically, as the prominence of the concept has risen, the meaning of social justice has become increasingly obscured.

Unlike many books on the subject, the text integrates diverse and often...
