'Paul Michael Garrett has made an important contribution to the renewal of the radical Marxist tradition in social work over the past twenty years...Garrett in this book has provided a valuable resource for all those who believe that "another social work is possible". Here, as in his previous book Dissenting Social Work, he has demonstrated that we do not have to settle for the narrow, controlling and rationing approaches that have come to define neoliberal social work'.
Iain Ferguson, British Journal of Social Work, 2024
'Paul Michael Garrett's book is a great contribution to the field of social work very much in need of critical and radical theoretical perspectives. Social Work and Common Sense is timely and much needed in a time when the neoliberal reorganisation of social policy is increasingly embedded and dominant. More specifically, social work education, its curriculum and practices is being recast in neoliberal terms and the very existence of a social justice orientated social work risks becoming irrelevant. Indeed, given recent developments which are marginalising democracy, violating human rights and social justice, increasing racism, militarism and genocidal wars, Garrett's book is a must-read book for students, educators and researchers of social work and social policy'.
Jessica Hanna Jönsson, Critical Social Policy, 2024
'This book undoubtedly builds upon previous excellent work from Garrett, in particular on "keywords" (for example Garrett 2018), and therefore regular followers of his will find this a valuable new contribution. However, in dealing with something as ubiquitous and fundamental as common sense, this book will grip a wide range of readers, including social work students, practitioners and academics, and also those outside the social work profession with an interest in common sense and how this comes to be deployed in a professional context such as social work. At a time when there is an increasing insistence in many areas of social work to delineate and narrow what is seen as appropriate and acceptable knowledge, Garrett's consistent dedication to explore further horizons for social work knowledge and practice is consistently refreshing. The broad approach to the subject also makes the book relevant to social workers everywhere, regardless of geographic location or area of practice...Overall this is an engaging, worthwhile and at times challenging read, firmly in line with the high quality work we have come to expect from Garrett. I expect to return to this book frequently, as I do with much of his work' (Joe Hanley, Practice: Social Work in Action, 2024).
'I enjoyed reading the book and I can recommend it to anyone interested in social work, political philosophy, and even sociology or social anthropology'
Jirí Mertl, Czech and Slovak Social Work, 2024
'The book...offers a refreshingly critical perspective on social work education and practice. It encourages readers to reflect on and evaluate the foundational ideas [and it] makes a significant contribution to the understanding and development of the field of social work through its innovative and provocative approach. By challenging fundamental assumptions that are often accepted without question, the book opens up space for deep reflection and critical dialogue...Ultimately, this book is relevant for social work students, practitioners, academics, and anyone interested in the application of common sense within professional contexts, even if they do not work in the social field'
Alif Ilman Mansyur et al. Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment, 2024
'Paul Michael Garrett is widely regarded by many as one of the foremost critical social work theorists in the English-speaking world of social work...Social Work and Common Sense is a continuation of his critical academic project, offering important theoretical perspectives as well as critiques of social work and its educational formation. In his latest contribution, he takes Antonio Gramsci's concept of 'common sense' and exposes how seemingly neutral concepts, ranging from attachment theory to human rights, are embedded in historically, contingently, and politically charged frameworks. Furthermore, the publication of this work is particularly timely in a global context marked by rising authoritarianism, the normalization of far-right discourses, and the deepening of neoliberal austerity-elements that have serious repercussions for social work today...By including a chapter that questions colonial common sense and another that introduces important Latin American theorists, he invites readers to turn to other latitudes and authors in order to imagine such alternatives. The work represents both a theoretical contribution and a political provocation for Anglophone social work-one that demands the discipline confront its complicity in the reproduction of common sense and invites a deeper commitment to epistemic and practical transformation'.
Tal Reininger, Propuestas Críticas En Trabajo Social-Critical Proposals in Social Work, 2025
'Garrett is an academic and critical theorist who has played a key role in developing radical perspectives on the direction of his field...Social Work and Common Sense: A Critical Examination provides a rigorous and challenging analysis of how "common sense" assumptions become deeply embedded in professional practice. [Here he] aims to provide a theoretical framework that will lead to more emancipatory approaches focused on social justice, and his work is a valuable resource for social work practitioners, students and academics alike'
Ian Cummins, The Sociological Review, 2025
'Paul Michael Garrett's book presents an insightful and deeply critical analysis of the field of social work, offering an essential reading for students, educators, researchers in social work and social policy'
