This is a very important book which will have a major influence on
social work education and practice. It is a landmark publication in
that it is the first book of this type in Australian social work.
The authors and editors are to be congratulated on their
achievement.

Informative, engaging and most of all challenging, Our Voices
provides essential knowledge for Australian social workers and
social work students. This new edition expands and updates these
important arguments, confirming its place as required reading for
social work practitioners and students.

Wales, Australia*
This is a powerful book that challenges social workers to think
critically, ask the difficult questions, debate the contentious
issues, and walk the talk of social justice and equality by drawing
from ancient knowledge. This book should be required reading for
all social workers in Australia and, indeed, around the globe. –
