Related to this topic, Michael Lavalette and Vasilios Ioakimidis co-wrote the book, ‘Social work in extremis: Lessons for social work internationally’, published by Policy Press in 2011, which looks at how social work has responded to the social, economic and political circumstances of a number of countries. The book fosters the spirit of international social work solidarity.
The volume contains the chapter ‘Popular social work’ in the Palestinian West Bank: dispatches from the front line, which looks at the success of grassroots welfare projects in the West Bank despite poverty, oppression and occupation.
