Media Reviews
'The works of Neil Thompson on anti-discriminatory practice, anti-oppression and equality have become well-known and highly respected standard reading for practising social workers and especially for students on social work courses. Any new book by Thompson, taking his views and analyses further, must therefore be strongly welcomed.' - Paul Williams, British Journal of Social Work
