| African American Leadership: An Empowerment
Tradition in Social Welfare History
Iris Carlton-LaNey, editor ISBN: 0-87101-317-7 260 pages Cost: $46.99 Pub. Date: 2001 Publisher: National Association of Social Workers Press For far too long, the huge contribution of African Americans to the social work profession has been relegated to little more than a footnote. The truth is, these forward-thinking individuals enhanced the quality of life within and outside their communities for generations. This book tells their stories. Sixteen painstakingly researched chapters, written by social workers, highlight the distinct roles of African American social work pioneers from the 1890s through the 1940s. The book discusses the birth of social welfare activities, both informal and formal, and introduces founding members of organizations such as the National Urban League and the National Association of Colored Women. Written from a social work perspective and framed within a historical context, these profiles and their accompanying lessons help today's practitioner make the connection to today's issues. | |

| African American Community Practice Models
Iris Carlton-LaNey and N. Yolanda Burwell, Editors ISBN-13: 978-1-56024-791-3 (Hardbound) ISBN-10: 1-56024-791-6 Pub. Date: 1996 Publisher: The Haworth Press, Inc. African American Community Practice Models shows you what you can “see” and “learn” when people of African American descent are put in the center of community analysis and change. This text celebrates African American experiences and challenges you to understand the black experience from the inside out rather than from the outside in. The contributors provide excellent historical and current case studies of leaders and programs that provide you with models for program and community development in African American communities today. For the contemporary social worker, these historical comparisons reveal what strategies have been needed in African American communities in the past because of political and social climates. The studies of current successful programs instruct those in community-based African American programs, general service networks, and students on how to continue to better serve the black community. | |
