Chris Chapman and A.J. Withers explore how normative social work history is structured in such a way that contemporary social workers can know many details about social work\u0026amp;#x2019;s violences, without ever imagining that they may also be complicit in these violences. Framings of social work history actively create present-day political and ethical irresponsibility, even among those who imagine themselves to be anti-oppressive, liberal, or radical.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors document many histories usually left out of social work discourse, including communities of Black social workers (who, among other things, never removed children from their homes involuntarily), the role of early social workers in advancing eugenics and mass confinement, and the resonant emergence of colonial education, psychiatry, and the penitentiary in the same decade. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eA Violent History of Benevolence \u003c\/i\u003eaims to invite contemporary social workers and others to reflect on the complex nature of contemporary social work, and specifically on the present-day structural violences that social work enacts in the name of benevolence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eSocial Working, Interlocking Oppression, and Moral Economies\u003cbr\u003eA Brief Discussion of Some Indigenous Social Workings on This Land\u003cbr\u003eOrganization and Structure of A Violent History of Benevolence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart One: Deconstructing Social Work and Social Work History\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Troubling the Standard Account of Social Work\u003cbr\u003eThe Standard Account\u003cbr\u003eThe Pull of the Other Side of the River\u003cbr\u003eCharity Organization Societies: Beyond Friendly Visiting to the Poor\u003cbr\u003eSettlement Houses and Jane Addams\u003cbr\u003eThe New \"Social Work\"\u003cbr\u003eWhat the Established Riverbanks Obscure\u003cbr\u003eContemporary Charity Organization and the Continued Polarity of the Riverbanks\u003cbr\u003e\"Mingling\" as Continued Solution to Structural Violence\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 White Supremacy and the Erasure of Racialized Social Workers\u003cbr\u003eSocial Work History as White Social Work History\u003cbr\u003eBlack Churches: Bestowing Charity and Organizing for Change\u003cbr\u003e\"Separate Spheres\" and Women\u0026amp;#x2019;s Clubs\u003cbr\u003eThe Great Migration: Migrant Assistance and the Shift towards Black Incarceration\u003cbr\u003eBlack Settlement Houses\u003cbr\u003eWoman\u0026amp;#x2019;s Christian Temperance Union\u003cbr\u003eAnti-Lynching\u003cbr\u003eIda B.
