Overview

In this landmark publication, social workers from Black and other Global Majority Communities showcase a rich and diverse collection of their essays, poems, stories and reflections, providing unique and spellbinding insights. OUTLANDERS: Hidden narratives from social workers of colour (from Black&other Global Majority Communities) captures the silenced and suppressed voices of social work students, practitioners, managers and academics. It combines a unique blend of personal and professional experiences with a sprinkle of cathartic and therapeutic creativity into a boiling cauldron of many moods. The result? Pure edutainment. This bold and unapologetic anthology explores a range of perennial issues, including anti-racist activism; oppressive workplace environments; racial trauma and COVID-19. The authentic and cultured spirits that permeate these pages convey an ancestral force that will reverberate inside and outside of social work.

About the Author

Siobhan Maclean BA CQSW PQSW (Company Director) I am a registered social worker and have a passion for our profession. I qualified in 1990 and have held various social work positions I now act as a trainer and consultant in social care and social work. To maintain my practice skills, I act as an independent practice educator to students each year. I set up Kirwin Maclean Associates as a small independent publishing organisation because I felt that the values of social work should be reflected in the publishing of social work books. We work on a not-for-profit basis writing affordable books which are easy to understand. I work to support practitioners to theorise from their own practice and feel that as practitioners we have a responsibility to co-produce the social work knowledge base rather than leaving this purely in the hands of academics. For us it's not about selling books, it's about making the core professional knowledge base accessible and getting it out there.
