A critical anthology titled "Abolition and Social Work" delves into the debates, conundrums, and promising practices surrounding abolition and social work in academia and impacted communities. Within the realm of social work, which has historically been intertwined with and sometimes complicit in the carceral state, abolitionist thinking, movement-building, and radical praxis are reshaping the field. Critical scholarship and organizing have played a pivotal role in identifying and examining the realities of carceral social work as a form of "soft policing." For radical social work, abolition goes beyond critique to embrace the politics of possibility. "Abolition and Social Work" offers a comprehensive introduction to abolitionist theory for social workers, exploring the tensions and paradoxes inherent in realizing abolitionist practice in social work. This essential intervention in contemporary discourse regarding carceral social work provides a compass for recentering this work through the lens of abolition, transformative justice, and collective care. The anthology features a foreword by Mariame Kaba and contributions from a diverse range of scholars and practitioners, including Autumn Asher BlackDeer, Ramona Beltran, Danica Brown, Charlene A. Caruthers, Angela Y. Davis, Alan Dettlaff, Tanisha "Wakumi" Douglas, Annie Zean Dunbar, Angela Fernandez, Kassandra Frederique, María Gandarilla Ocampo, Claudette L. Grinnell-Davis, Sam Harrell, Justin S. Harty, Shira Hassan, Leah A. Jacobs, Nev Jones, Joyce McMillan, Network to Advance Abolitionist Social Work, Dorothy Roberts, Sophia Sarantakos, Katie Schultz, and Stéphanie Wahab.
