{"product_id":"spirituality-and-the-black-helping-tradition-in-social-work","title":"Spirituality and the Black Helping Tradition in Social Work","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the black helping tradition, spirituality is the sense of the sacred and divine. It is a critical value deeply rooted in the African worldview and used by African Americans as a tool for survival. Provocative and well-written, Spirituality and the Black Helping Tradition in Social Work is the first book to draw a relationship between social work, spirituality, and the helping tradition among African Americans. Offering a wealth of historical detail and narrative, Elmer and Joanne Martin explore spirituality as a foundation for understanding people of African descent and as a skill to evoke self-help. This groundbreaking book raises compelling questions about the limitations and strengths of mainstream social work in issues of black spirituality and its role in strengthening the black community today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExamines the interaction between African and African American spirituality, African American social workers, and race work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChronicles the stories of early black caregivers and social workers who recognized the significance of spirituality and incorporated it into their work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInvestigates the extent to which social workers today are equipped to use spirituality to empower black individuals, families, and communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso available:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSocial Work and the Black Experience - ISBN 087101257X\u003cbr\u003eColor in a White Society - ISBN 087101128X\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNASW Press\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNASW Press, a division of National Association of Social Workers (NASW), is a leading scholarly press in the social sciences.
