Addressing Anti-Asian Racism with Social Work Advocacy and Action
This book fills a critical gap in scholarship from social workers in the effort to eradicate anti-Asian racism through exploration in the historical and current political context.

This book intends to serve as a timely and comprehensive resource for social work educators, researchers and practitioners committed to eliminating anti-Asian racism experienced by a population that will no longer accept the label of being "invisible."

ÂThis book is the first of its kind to systematically examine the history of anti-Asian racism in the U.S., its impact on the intersectionality of different marginalized identities within Asian American communities, and provides innovative, evidence-based solutions that social work educators, practitioners, and researchers can adopt to dismantle anti-Asian racism.
