Paper doi abstract bibtex Reviews the book, Green social work: From environmental crises to environmental justice by Lena Dominelli (2012). Just as the feminist movement in the 1970s challenged social work to get on board, the environmental movement now challenges social work as a profession to recognize its role. Lena Dominelli lays out the urgency for social work by not only challenging the profession but also by giving specific rationale and guidance on how to ensure that social work addresses environmentalism as social justice in her book. At first glance, the title suggests little more than an encouragement to social workers to do their share of recycling, buying "green" products, and boycotting. However, a few pages into the first chapter, you realize this book is much more. Following in the footsteps of social work environmentalist pioneers, Dominelli argues that the Person-in-Environment (PIE) perspective in social work has largely ignored the physical environment. Dominelli adds to the ecological social work literature by making a clear distinction between environmental social work and green social work, however this book moves beyond the physical environment to include the socio-political systems in which people live. Dominelli admonishes that social work has lost touch with a more holistic understanding of environment, a concept that the early settlement workers knew all too well. In summary, this book is a welcome addition to the growing literature about the nexus of social work and environmentalism, particularly for the student, researcher, practitioner, or policy analyst in community development.
