Book 6 makes a sustained contribution to environmental social work and sustainable social development from an African standpoint. A special group of articles develops African philosophies, eco-social models and indigenous knowledge for responding to climate change. It covers rural children’s vulnerability, deaf farmers participation in sustainable food production and environmental content in the social work curriculum. Social development is also addressed through education as a driver of youth and national development, economic strengthening programmes for young people in South Africa, and the role of programmes for orphans and vulnerable children in household food security. Ubuntu runs through the book, applied to forced migration, mental health, teaching and the theory of African society. One article sets out a historical timeline of African philosophy, from sankofa to Ubuntu and umoja. Further studies cover childlessness, albinism, drug use, homelessness, birth registration and disability policy. The book is suited to educators, practitioners and researchers working on sustainability, culture and social justice.
