About this eTextbook
Reflecting the idea that social justice is a primary mission of the social work profession, this text provides a thorough grounding in policy analysis - with extensive coverage of policy practice and a unique emphasis on the human dilemmas inherent in the pursuit of social justice. The book introduces several philosophical perspectives on what constitutes social justice, and identifies values and assumptions reflected in contemporary policy debates. It makes policy personal, introducing people whose lives are influenced by U.S. policies, as well as those who have shaped the policies.
