De la contraportada

Practitioners working within the people professions have a legal and moral responsibility to promote equality wherever possible. This insightful book from a leading author provides a lucid guide to the complexities of inequality, and offers a sound foundation for practice that makes a positive contribution to equality, social justice and empowerment. Now in its third edition, this highly successful text challenges oversimplified
approaches to tackling discrimination and oppression. It combines an impressive blend of theoretical analysis and practice insights, all conveyed
in the accessible and engaging style which has earned Neil Thompson his sterling reputation in the field. Along with a new introductory chapter,
this revised edition features:

• 'Voice of experience' comments: practitioners' real-world experiences of discrimination;
  
• Key concept boxes: authoritative support in demystifying complex theoretical ideas;
  
• Practice focus illustrations: cameos from practice which bring theoretical issues to life.
