Predicaments our world faces: Can we find our way out of them together?

Jacques and Jennifer talk about some of the interconnected global-to-local predicaments we’re facing: the pandemic, ecology, racism, and the destructive political-economy of late capitalism.  They talk about some of the directions we need to take to deal with these predicaments. The discussion is based on a book chapter Jacques has recently written in a volume also edited by him and by Linette Hawkins; the title of the book is: Practical and Political Approaches to Recontextualizing Social Work IGI Global Publishers. The book has 14 Chapters, six of which have been written by Borderlands Cooperative members and researchers, several others by Australian social and community activists and academics and other chapters deal with critical social and community practice globally, in Africa, Latin America and the Pacific. The book is available on line, in hardcover and papercover... it's not 'cheap' but we are allowed to offer 50% reductions for individuals connected with Borderlands and the New Community... just let us know!
