by, dominant discourses. These discourses are contested, and shift based on the power brokers defining what and who matters. Currently, during this time of increasing inequality, with racism and sexism being called out and an international pandemic of COVID-19, we are seeing the discourse of economics being pitted against that of health and wellbeing, and social justice. I would have liked to see more about how critical social work has engaged with these issues, and identified transformative practice across the following four domains of service provision: critical reflexive interrogation, responsiveness; rights base advocacy, and co-production (Williams & Graham, 2016). Critical multicultural practice in social work requires challenging dominant discourses and incorporating contemporary key learnings from international practice. One of the lessons critical race theory has taught us is that this requires engagement with communities, and that it is not the refugees and migrants that are the problem but the systems and structures that exclude them. This text is recommended to all those studying and working to support refugees and migrants, and across direct practice, policy, advocacy, and research.
