Learning from Occupational Therapy in Latin America

An informative, timely, and cogent publication that makes a significant contribution to the occupational therapy and occupational science bodies of knowledge at a critical point in time. The contributing chapter authors come from diverse cultural backgrounds, broad lived experiences of human occupation, informed occupational theoretical viewpoints, and the professional and first hand experiences of occupational therapists in Latin America. The Lifeways, Identities, Territories, and Arenas chapter sections of Learning From Occupational Therapy in Latin America also provide a structure for the prospective reader to understand the comprehensive and diverse themes, concepts and ideas covered in this scholarly edited book. I highly recommend this publication for anyone wanting to broaden their social justice and inclusive practice knowledge and perspectives related to the unique cultural, social, theoretical, and professional practice contexts of occupational therapy and occupational science in Latin America. -- Ted Brown, PhD, MPA, MSc, BScOT(Hons), OTC, OTR, FOTARA, FAOTA
Decolonialising occupational therapy starts with knowledge dissemination. This is a much needed book which no doubt will be a valuable contribution towards a more critical and less colonial occupational therapy. -- Dikaios Sakellariou, Professor in Disability Studies and Occupational Therapy, Cardiff University
