Recenzii
This book will certainly be a game changer.
It has taken our occupational therapy profession more than a century to break its loud silence on the harmful existence of systemic racism and other intersecting oppressions - collective occupations in their own right. Going forward, as occupational therapists we must introspectively interrogate the nature of our sustained institutional silence on systemic racism, its genesis and impact on who we are, how we think and what we know and do. Antiracist Occupational Therapy by Musharrat Ahmed-Landeryou et al. is the first ever book in the history of occupational therapy that explicitly, courageously engages with the phenomenon of systemic racism. It presents as a timely resource for politically, epistemologically and practically positioning and preparing ourselves to effectively confront and address whenever and wherever this dehumanizing force rears its ugly head.
The book is well-constructed, thoughtful, provocative and powerful. It also taught me a great deal more about OT than I had before reading so thank you and the authors for contributing knowledge and influence in this space. I also appreciated the energy the book offers to the reader. Each chapter ends by inviting the reader to reflect on their reading by recording their understanding and learning. Readers will appreciate the authenticity of the authors' voices, where contributors have generously shared their own lived experiences to emphasise different complex concepts.
This is a timely book as anti-racism continues to remain an important subject matter. It is a developing area of work within the occupational therapy profession that is worthy of taking centre stage. Occupational Therapy is a valued and worthwhile profession; however, it does not operate within a social or political vacuum and this book will help those in the profession to consider their role in the fight against racism.
