Review # 1 was written on 2019-08-25 00:00:00 John Lopez Just delightful! I've had to read a lot of dreadful material in my first semester of social work school. I've seen too much material saturated in a pathetic bourgeois liberalism without any critical breadth or depth. Mullaly pulls it through, with a wonderful introduction to left social work theory, Marxism and other assorted social ideologies, and radical Social Democratic solutions. Go Bob! I'm impressed. I think it's just about the most charming thing I have ever read on socialism (not saying much, I know) and beats out any social work student's syllabi around.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-02-10 00:00:00 Andres Bermudez Hello, i have read the book many years ago and what it has done for me is put me in a frame of mind for an Indigenous Ideology and how to begin this process. It had opened a perspective that is much needed for new structural social workers and anyone wanting to know Indigenous epistemology. It is a sensitive subject and needs more information to guide western education and instructors to add to their curriculum. It can add texture and vibrance to the aboriginal culture and include it instead exclude the possibility to ensure indigenous epistemology is well versed and comprehensive with some grit and integrity for future negotiations and misunderstood motives. To connect indigenous values, principles, traditions and wholistic health factors to the already large world of education and training. These would answer some of the gnawing questions that differentiate indigenous peoples and other cultures that may or may not understand that culture is important in any language or societal function.
