Abstract
Translated by Giannina Muñoz Arce, PhD in Social Work and academic at the University of Chile, this is a book that comes to politically challenge Social Work. It was originally published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2013, under the title "The New Politics of Social Work". Composed of thirteen chapters and divided into three parts, this work was carried forward by academics of Social Work from England, Australia, Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, South Africa and Canada who, from different theoretical perspectives, advocate the creation of a left agenda for the discipline and call for political positions, considering that Social Work has a public responsibility to confront injustice.Keywords:
