1. Braye, S. and Preston-Shoot, M. (1995) Empowering Practice in Social Care (Buckingham, Open University Press). This text is primarily about community care. However, it focuses on issues of empowerment and working in anti-oppressive ways within this context.
2. Dalrymple, J. and Burke, B. (1995) Anti-oppressive Practice: Social Care and the Law (Buckingham, Open University Press). Although this book focuses largely on using the law as a tool for progressive practice, it threads the principles of anti-oppressive practice and the empowerment of service users throughout the discussion. Thus, it can be used by readers to deepen their knowledge and understanding of anti-oppressive practice in a particular area of practice.
3. Dominelli, L. (1997) Sociology for Social Work (London, Macmillan). This text explores the theoretical underpinnings of anti-oppressive practice, examines the struggle over policy developments favouring its spread, provides case study examples of how anti-oppressive practice is used in holistic ways to address a range of different oppressions which exist in any one intervention and integrates theory and practice within it.
