Racialisation and Practices of Care
About this book
Introduction and Chapter 10 available open access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.
This book examines the contemporary social care realities and practices of Finland, a small nation with a history enmeshed in social relations as both coloniser and colonised.
Decolonising Social Work in Finland:
· Interrogates coloniality, racialisation and diversity in the context of Finnish social work and social care.
· Brings together racialised and mainstream White Finnish researchers, activists and community members to challenge relations of epistemic violence on racialised populations in Finland.
· Critically unpacks colonial views of care and wellbeing.
It will be essential reading for international scholars and students in the fields of Social Work, Sociology, Indigenous Studies, Health Sciences, Social Sciences and Education.
