      title = {Social Work in the Era of Devolution : Toward a Just  Practice /},
      abstract = {While economic indicators in recent years have shown an  unprecedented level of prosperity, social indicators tell a  different story: growing economic disparity, increasing  numbers of Americans lacking health insurance, increased  levels of poverty among our youngest and oldest citizens,  and an anti-entitlement political climate that has eroded  assistance to those most in need. In this era of  "devolution," the federal government has been increasingly  removed from the provision of services and support to  vulnerable populations. This book presents a framework for  understanding the impact of these developments on the  practice of social work. The first section focuses on  contemporary social forces, processes, and policy changes  and their implications for the social work profession. The  second section explores practical issues as they affect  selected vulnerable populations. The concluding section  describes interventions that have been taking place at  grass-roots levels, including community action and  interagency collaboration. Thus, this book attempts to  integrate policy, practice, organizational, and community  perspectives on social work practice with a commitment to  social justice.},
