Abstract
how well content hangs together. My view is pretty well here. One of the reasons for that is that Australia is the focus within all of the chapters, other than Wang and Tsai’s. For some this may jar a little with the book’s focus on difference, but the lessons of the book should travel well both because of the transferability of its core concepts and arguments and also, for Anglophone readers, because many of the issues discussed can trace their roots back to colonialism. The linkage between current societal injustices and the history of the British Empire is inadequately discussed, addressed or reckoned with in the UK, and beyond (Akala, 2018). Bringing the lessons of colonialism into the contemporary social work classroom is an important challenge for educators to meet. This book will support educators and students to do so, and to do so in a way that approaches the recognition of difference as a first step to overcoming divisions that obscure paths to achieving socially just solutions for all.
