This volume on radical, ethical social work is most welcome. In these deeply divided times of hateimbued technology and politics, it is uplifting to know that social workers still cling to their ideals of human rights, social justice, and peaceful coexistence.

The Routledge International Handbook of Radical Ethical Social Work renews the moral and political purpose of social work for a polarized world. By bringing the radical and the ethical into a shared, evolving space, it illuminates new pathways for reflective, compassionate, inclusive, and transformative practice. This kaleidoscopic volume resists injustice while nurturing solidarity, reparation, and mutual accountability across diverse contexts. Grounded in humility, hope, and decolonial engagement, it redefines social work as a living practice of moral courage and relational responsibilityone that listens, stands alongside, and acts with dignity and care for people and the planet.
