Riding on the success of Indigenous Social Work Around the World, this book provides case studies to further scholarship on decolonization, a major analytical and activist paradigm among many of the worlds Indigenous Peoples, including educators, tribal leaders, activists, scholars, politicians, and citizens at the grassroots level. Decolonization seeks to weaken the effects of colonialism and create opportunities to promote traditional practices in contemporary settings. Establishing language and cultural programs; honouring land claims, teaching Indigenous history, science, and ways of knowing; self-esteem programs, celebrating ceremonies, restoring traditional parenting approaches, tribal rites of passage, traditional foods, and helping and healing using tribal approaches are central to decolonization.

These insights are brought to the arena of international social work still dominated by western-based approaches. Decolonization draws attention to the effects of globalization and the universalization of education, methods of practice, and international development that fail to embrace and recognize local knowledges and methods.

In this volume, Indigenous and non-Indigenous social work scholars examine local cultures, beliefs, values, and practices as central to decolonization. Supported by a growing interest in spirituality and ecological awareness in international social work, they interrogate trends, issues, and debates in Indigenous social work theory, practice methods, and education models including a section on Indigenous research approaches.

The diversity of perspectives, decolonizing methodologies, and the shared struggle to provide effective professional social work interventions is reflected in the international nature of the subject matter and in the mix of contributors who write from their contexts in different countries and cultures, including Australia, Canada, Cuba, Japan, Jordan, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, and the USA.

Acknowledgements
Many people have been instrumental in helping to bring this book to fruition and to them we wish to express our deepest gratitude. First, we wish to thank our chapter authors from around the world who have so willingly shared their knowledge, insight, experience and understanding on the destructive aftermath of colonization, and its ongoing manifestations. We thank you, especially, for your patience as you responded, sometimes repeatedly, to our many editorial comments, queries and suggestions.
We also wish to thank Claire Jarvis for her unwavering belief in us and this project and her ongoing and willing support every step of the way. Thanks to all the folk at Ashgate Publishing who recognized value in broadening the scholarly attention of social workers to the many aspects of decolonization. We thank you for welcoming our idea and encouraging us to write this book as a follow-up to the success of Indigenous Social Work around the World (2008). Your support was invaluable and much appreciated.
Thirdly, and most importantly, we wish to recognize the sterling efforts of Indigenous Peoples and their allies on every continent as they struggle to overcome the pervasive and ongoing pernicious effects of colonization. The challenges are great, and we hope that our book will, in some small way, further your cause. We hope our book is informative and useful for everyone who wishes to learn more about, and support the cause of, those who fight unstintingly for justice for all.
This book is written in recognition of the many efforts of Indigenous Peoples and their scholars, who have persevered to overcome and write about the negative impacts of colonization, to contribute to our expanded understanding of oppression and the advancement of social work theory and practice.
