Guided by a strong sense of her limitations and responsibilities as a privileged outsider and a belief that "only Ghanaians can critically look at and decide on a culturally relevant curriculum for themselves," Kreitzer utilizes Participatory Action Research methodology to successfully move the topic of culturally relevant practices from rhetoric to demonstration. Social Work in Africa is aimed at programs and practise in Ghana; at the same time, it is intended as a framework for the creation of culturally relevant social work curricula in other African countries and other contexts. -- Back cover. 650 0 $a Social work education $z Africa $x Foreign influences. 650 0 $a Social work education $z Africa $x History. 650 0 $a Universities and colleges $z Africa $x History. 650 0 $a Social service $z Africa $x Foreign influences. 650 0 $a Social service $z Africa $x History. 650 0 $a Social service $z Ghana $x History. 651 0 $a Africa $x Civilization. 650 0 $a Curriculum change $x Social aspects $z Africa. 650 0 $a Curriculum change $x Social aspects $z Ghana. 830 0 $a Africa, missing voices series ; $v 10. 941 $a 1 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20140917011208.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=13D34CBE3E3011E4861469EFDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
