Full Description
Social Work and Proud 1850-2022 is a wonderfully unique book.
By weaving together personal stories with the wider context of national and international events, we are taken on a historical journey, charting the emergence and development of social work as a profession.
Spanning 172 years we are introduced to characters from the author's South London family and their struggles, at home and abroad, keep step with the social, cultural and political shifts, both locally and globally.
His sixty seven year career in social work makes Malcolm Jordan's perspective a joy to read.
One can choose to follow the threads of family history; global events; national events or political and cultural changes, but all these threads combine to build-up an engaging analysis on the theory and practice of social work.
