Featuring insights from 20 members of historically colonized nations, this bold new textbook reclaims the work that's been both foundational to and obfuscated in the field of counseling by giving voice to neglected populations. This book goes beyond social justice and advocacy, providing practical applications and interventions for anti-oppressive counseling practices. It invites counselors to the work of decolonial liberation and decoloniality so that their practice and care can deeply and richly meet the needs of post-colonized populations.
