Under the Cover of Kindness: The Invention of Social Work Hardcover - 1997
by Leslie Margolin
From the rear cover
In the fascinating style of Foucault, Leslie Margolin produces a telling treatment of the invention and development of social work. Digging into the discipline in political as well as intellectual terms, Margolin's archaeology unearths dark ruins that revolt us and forgotten artifacts that sparkle with insight into how modern projects of knowledge turn relentlessly on dynamics of social power. -John S. Nelson, University of Iowa
