Working with Diversity in Youth and Community Work

This book focuses on the nature of cross-cultural practice, an inevitable aspect of working as a Youth and Community Worker in multicultural Britain today. It enables students to understand how cross-cultural dynamics can set the ‘tone’ of their relationships with their ‘clients’ and helps them to understand how some processes in society and individual action can contribute to the marginalization of others. This book looks at the processes involved in the everyday relationships forged through practice and how these can inadvertently influence the dynamics of oppression through lack of self awareness or lack of awareness of ‘others’ in society.
