Politics for Social Workers

A Practical Guide to Effecting Change

STEPHEN PIMPARE

“Politics for Social Workers provides a thorough explanation and in-depth analysis of the policies and political structures that create the inequities and marginalization that social workers seek to alleviate. The book will grant social work students a more critically informed perspective from which to approach their ethical obligations to social justice.”

—Mary Hylton, Salisbury University

This book is a concise, accessible guide to help social workers understand how politics and policy making really work—and what they can do to help their clients and their communities. Stephen Pimpare, a political scientist with extensive experience as a social work practitioner and instructor, offers informed, practical grounding in the mechanics of policy making and the tools that activists and outsiders can use to take on an entrenched system.

STEPHEN PIMPARE is director of the Public Service and Nonprofit Leadership Program at the University of New Hampshire. He is the author of The New Victorians: Poverty, Politics, and Propaganda in Two Gilded Ages (2004); A People’s History of Poverty in America (2008); and Ghettos, Tramps, and Welfare Queens: Down and Out on the Silver Screen (2017).
