Cultural practices have the potential to cause human suffering. The Tensions between Culture and Human Rights critically interrogates the relationship between culture and human rights across Africa and offers strategies for pedagogy and practice that social workers and educators may use. Drawing on Afrocentricity and emancipatory social work as antidotes to colonial power and dehumanization, this collection challenges cultural practices that violate human rights, and the dichotomous and taken-for-granted assumptions in the cultural representations between the West and the Rest of the world. Engaging critically with cultural traditions while affirming Indigenous knowledge and practices, it is unafraid to deal frankly with uncomfortable truths. Each chapter explores a specific aspect of African cultural norms and practices and their impacts on human rights and human dignity, paying special attention to the intersections of politics, economics, race, class, gender, and cultural expression. Going beyond analysis, this collection offers a range of practical approaches to understanding and intervention rooted in emancipatory social work. It offers a pathway to develop critical reflexivity and to reframe epistemologies for education and practice. This is essential reading not only for students and practitioners of social work, but for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of African cultures and practices." 410 0$aIssn 606 $aAfrocentrism 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aSocial service 606 $aManners and customs 615 0$aAfrocentrism. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aSocial service. 615 0$aManners and customs. 676 $a323.096 700 $aSewpaul$b Vishanthie$01252710 701 $aKreitzer$b Linda$0801788 701 $aRaniga$b Tanusha$01252711 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910585980003321 996 $aThe Tensions Between Culture and Human Rights$92904336 997 $aUNINA
