M. Reisch, J. Andrews

Brunner/Routledge, 2001 - Social Science - 276 pages

The Road Not Taken takes a new perspective on the course of social welfare policy in the twentieth century. This examination looks at the evolution of social work in the United States as a dynamic process not just driven by mainstream organizations and politics, but strongly influenced by the ideas and experiences of radical individuals and marginalized groups as well.

User Review  - Kymberlie - Goodreads

Not the most riveting book I've ever read, but if you're a social worker or a social work student and are appalled (as I am) at how little the field focuses on real social justice, you will find this interesting...maybe even inspiring.
