Practising Social Inclusion

Ann Taket, Beth R. Crisp, Melissa Graham, Lisa Hanna, Sophie Goldingayand and Linda Wilson eds.,2013,Practising Social Inclusion,Routledge.（1.2.2020）

　オーストラリアの社会福祉については、社会的養護における里親委託率が世界一であること以外、ほとんど無知であったのだが、本書を読んで、高福祉社会とは言えずとも、さまざまなボランタリー・アソシエーションが社会的に排除された人々を積極的に支援する、特異なそれであることがわかった。
　本書の主題は、ずばり、Social Inclusion（社会的包摂）であり、対象は、移民、アボリジニ、障がい者、高齢者、セックスワーカー、独居女性、大学初年次生、HIV感染の高リスク集団と、実に多様である。多くの論考において、調査にもとづいた説得力ある議論が展開されており、それらの根底には、「だれも排除しない」社会をめざす力強い理念が貫かれている。
　やや難解な章があるものの、ほぼ全章、文体は明晰で、主題をはずさぬよう、よく考えられて編集されていると思う。来年度の授業で学生と読む良いテキストとなる章もみつかった。
　久しぶりに、洋書を、最初から最後まで通読し、これまで、つまみ読みで洋書を利用してきたことが悔やまれた。興味がわかないタイトルの章が、意外とおもしろく、たくさんの知見が得られたりと、やはり、本というものは、和書、洋書を問わず、最初から最後まで読みとおすべきものだな、と感じ入った。
　なお、本書は、Amazon.co.jpが日本で印刷した、プリント・オン・デマンドの書籍である。Amazon.co.jpでは、洋書60万冊が、プリント・オン・デマンドで読めるそうで、なんともありがたいことである。

Practising Social Inclusion presents what we know about what works, and why, in promoting social inclusion and practising in a socially inclusive way.
Contributing to the growing debates on social inclusion, this book moves beyond discussion of who it is that is socially excluded and the processes of exclusion. It draws on research and reflective practice to answer the vital question of how to actually work towards inclusion and includes five sections looking at different arenas for practice: policy; programme design; service delivery; community life; and research.

Relevant to all those working to promote, or researching, human health and wellbeing, this book is especially suitable for practitioners, students and scholars in health promotion, social work, social policy, public health, disability studies, occupational therapy and nursing.
"Offers a wide-ranging view of social inclusion practice, providing insights into a number of key issues and discussions". - Lee Gregory, SOCIAL POLICY & ADMINISTRATION, University of Birmingham, UK
'The book has a key emphasis on understanding the concept of social inclusion and, more importantly, practising it, which is reflected in the title. The eminent editors have extensive expertise in the areas of social inclusion, population health and epidemiology, social policy, social work, and research. This publication is a vital resource in the growing body of critical literature, making a distinctive contribution to thinking about and practising social inclusion, particularly in the current absence of a national approach in this area of social policy.'- Mike Dee, Queensland University of Technology Australian Social Work
