Abstract
Abstract Social work's legacy of ‘progressive politics’ or radical traditions shifts according to changes in political, economic, and social environments. Working on social justice becomes an international matter as social problems become more complex, poverty increases, community life worsens. This demands that the nature of social work be clarified. Will this lead to further radicalization? Radical social work from the 1970s evolved into critical social work, currently termed ‘structural social work’ and/or antioppressive practice. This article sketches a short history of radical social work practice and theory, focusing on Flanders and the Netherlands. A survey of social work educators and practice-oriented research illustrate where radical social work's core might lie.
