Poorly Written but a Good Overview,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Introduction to Social Work and Social Welfare (Hardcover)
I was offended personally by this book. It is written for a college-level student but is worded as if it is for a middle school aged student. I was most offended, however, about the racist remarks implied by the author. He tends to overexaggerate and implies that caucasions are inferior and barbaric. It is a totally unbalanced book in the minority area. But, it does provide interesting case studies and overviews a wide variety of social work feilds of practice.
