Reviews
Cassandra L. Bransford, Binghamton University:
Rosenwald’s compelling, well-grounded, and contextualized look at political diversity among social workers throughout the profession’s history fills an important gap in the professional literature. Timely, well-written, and replete with useful examples, this book offers strategies that promote open dialogue and respectful disagreement within the classroom and at the policy level.

Richard Hoefer, The University of Texas at Arlington:
Rosenwald explores political diversity, an important but neglected area of social work practice and education. His insights can help students grapple with what to do and why when their political ideology and their practice responsibilities collide. Educators and students will find much to use in this book.
Michael Reisch, University of Maryland:
Despite frequent appeals to diversity and social justice, social work discourse largely overlooks the role political ideology has played and continues to play in shaping its philosophical goals and theories of practice. Mitchell Rosenwald’s book helps fill this gap with sharp insights that have important relevance for the contemporary profession.
