Created to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Bailey and Brake's seminal text Radical Social Work (1975), this volume seeks to explore the radical tradition within social work and assess its legacy, relevance and prospects.

With a foreword by Roy Bailey, the book brings together leading academics within social work in Britain to reflect on the legacy of Radical Social Work (both the original text and the wider social movement) within social work education, theory and practice.

With the current issues facing social work in Britain, this book examines the radical tradition to assert that 'another social work is possible'.

Michael Lavalette is Associate Professor of Social Work at Liverpool Hope University and national coordinator of the Social Work Action Network. He has written numerous books and articles about social work and social policy, including International Social Work and the Radical Tradition (co-edited with Iain Ferguson) and Globalisation, Global Justice and Social Work (co-edited with Elizabeth Whitmore and Iain Ferguson).
