The name of the book: Stevenson, B (2014) Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption. New York, NY: Spiegel & Grau.  Book Review (25%): You will read and review one of the books listed in your syllabus which addresses theological and sociological themes relevant to course content and write a 4-6-page book review. Please note: your review is NOT intended to be a summary of the book. Instead, you will use personal, first-person language to reflect how the book addresses community concerns and the social work community practice methods used as an intervention. Feel free to express your critical thought about methods used or not used, including the community practice theories and models discussed in class to support your assessment. You need to provide APA citation throughout your paper. If you cite sources other than the book you reviewed, make sure to cite them according to APA 7th edition format (for example when discussing how theory applies to the concepts in the book). Each book you will read has a connection to social work practice with communities and organizations, as well as underlying theme of the integration of faith and practice at a micro, mezzo and macro level. If you cannot make a connection to the integration of faith and practice, please write about where you see a potential for communities of faith to play a role. Please approach the review from a lens of a community social work practitioner and consider the connections. Utilize headings to present a well-organized paper guided by APA standards. Please complete your book review by writing a statement at the end of your paper that you read the book in entirety or that you did not. This statement will be considered an electronic signature. Because this review will be due prior to the material being covered, please consult Canvas for summaries on Community Practice Models and Theories relevant to the course. Also, please consult your Gamble and Weil text, specifically pp. 26 & 27 and pp. 40-44 (although you may need to read additional pages in the book). You might also benefit from reading or consulting this article from week 7: Hutchison, E. (2019). Dimensions of Human Behavior (6th ed.) Los Angeles: Sage. Chapter 2: You do not have to be an expert in the content- the purpose of the review is for you to begin the process of applying theories, models and skills to a real example of community practice work. The goal is for you to become familiar with the theories (Hutchinson chapter), models (Gamble and Weil) and the skills (Gamble & Weil) and that the book allows you context for application. You will also consider the role and ethical integration of faith and practice at a micro, mezzo and macro level. This may be more obvious in some books than others, if it is not a prevalent theme, you may write about a way that a community of faith could engage the community ethically, or the ways the faith/spirituality of the worker played a role. Please read a summary of the books prior to choosing it for your review. Please note, some of these books address sensitive topics such as race and racism, mass incarceration, immigrant rights and poverty. There are many topics in the field of social work that require us to understand our own background and sensitivity to a topic; social work practice with communities is no different. If there is a specific area you feel you would like to, or need to learn more about, please consider reading the book that relates to that topic. If, you feel as though your experiences might relate too closely to the content covered, please choose a different book. If you are concerned about the content of the book, please check with your section faculty to discuss which one might make the most sense for you to read. Note: Turn It In will be used to review your submitted assignment.
