Produktbeschreibung
Nearly the entire Japanese American population was incarcerated by the federal government during World War II, and social workers were heavily involved in all parts of the process: they vetted, registered, counseled, and tagged all affected individuals; staffed social work departments within the concentration camps in which the Nikkei were held; and worked in the offices administering the "resettlement," the planned scattering of the population explicitly intended toprevent regional re-concentration. Though the broader history of the forced removal and incarceration has been analyzed by scholars, the role of social work has been entirely overlooked. Facilitating Injustice highlights the profession's contradictory role as well as the dilemma's continuedrelevance in contemporary social work.

Autorenporträt
Yoosun Park, PhD, MSW, is Associate Professor in the School for Social Work at Smith College and Editor-in-Chief of Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work. Dr. Park's scholarship, framed within the broad substantive area of immigration, is informed by poststructuralist theories of discourse and methods of inquiry. It pursues two overlapping lines of inquiry: social work's history with immigrants/immigration and the study of contemporary issues pertinent to immigrants/immigration. Her examinations of the current and past discourses of the profession aim to identify and engender the development of alternative lines of inquiry, question formulation, and conceptualization.
