ABSTRACT

Over the past 25 years, migrant detention and criminalisation has steadily increased in the United States. This state of affairs has triggered social workers to advocate through policy and service on behalf of migrants. In order to evaluate contemporary practice, a critical position is generated through a genealogy of social work practice with migrants where the colonial archeology of contemporary social work practice is found in the history of the settlement movement. Here, an irony becomes apparent within social work. Social work practice is a settler colonialism paralleled by Gayatri Spivak's reading of colonial discourses resulting in the subaltern condition. Following Spivak's analysis, social work advocacies affirm migrant subalternity by re-presenting the migrant as an image of nonagentive victimhood while simultaneously representing migrants through political advocacies on their behalf. As a liberation ethics counter to the colonial discourses, Spivak's exit of subalternity as the road to hegemony is drawn for social work practice. In this effort, Indigenous Action Media's distinction between allies and accomplices is central to develop a social work practice as an ethics of liberation. Social workers thus become accomplices with criminalised and detained migrants on the road to hegemony.

摘要

在过去的25年中，在美国，移民被拘留和定罪的人数稳步上升。这种情况促使社会工作者通过政策和服务代表移民进行倡导。为了评估当代实践，通过对移民进行社会工作实践的家谱来确定一个关键位置，在定居运动的历史中发现了当代社会工作实践的殖民考古学。在这里，讽刺在社会工作中变得显而易见。社会工作实践是定居者的殖民主义，加亚特里·斯皮瓦克（Gayatri Spivak）对殖民话语的解读导致次要条件。根据Spivak的分析，社会工作倡导者通过将移民重新表述为非代理性受害者的形象，同时通过代表他们的政治主张代表移民，从而确认了移民的生育身份。作为与殖民主义话语相反的解放伦理学，斯皮瓦克退出了作为婚姻霸权之路的世袭制，这是社会工作的一种实践。在这种努力中，土著行动媒体对盟友和同谋之间的区分对于发展社会工作实践作为一种解放伦理至关重要。因此，社会工作者成为霸权道路上被定罪并被拘留的移民的帮凶。土著行动媒体对盟友和同谋之间的区别是发展社会工作实践作为一种解放伦理的核心。因此，社会工作者成为霸权道路上被定罪并被拘留的移民的帮凶。土著行动媒体对盟友和同谋之间的区别是发展社会工作实践作为一种解放伦理的核心。因此，社会工作者成为霸权道路上被定罪并被拘留的移民的帮凶。
