Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 1, vol. 45 (January 2015) . - pp. 363-377 Titre : Rethinking Skill in Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice with Skilled Immigrant Professionals Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Chatterjee, Soma, Auteur Editeur : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : pp. 363-377 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Cardijn Qualification # Travail social TS Émigration et immigration Résumé : "Scholarly and policy responses to skilled immigrants' labour market integration in Canada have a tendency to normalise and individualise skill as a key issue to address immigrants' labour market challenges. In contrast, a small body of anti-oppressive social work advocates the need for examining the racist and assimilationist assumptions that lead to de-skilling and propose structurally oriented recommendations. In this paper, I draw from the historical materialist method of ideological critique and critical scholarship on work and learning for work to make a case that, since the notion of skill does not have a stable referent and is ideologically malleable, it helps to mask the exploitative relation between labour and capital in the job market. I argue that such an understanding of skill would sharpen the repertoire of anti-oppressive practice with skilled immigrant professionals by encouraging practitioners to acknowledge de-skilling as a fundamental aspect of the system they are critiquing, and thereby reorienting their critique to incorporate larger political economic structures. I conclude by proposing a dialogue between practitioners and researchers about the efficacy and viability of this proposition."
