Perspective on Oppression for Anti-Oppressive Practice：

Analysis Based on the Narratives of Oppressed Parties

Abstract

Anti-oppressive social work practices are considered as a necessary approach to structural barriers that cause oppression and discrimination. However, the analysis of the structure and impact of oppression on children from the perspective of school organizations and cultures has not been clarified. In addition, analysis and consideration for reviewing the current state of social work practices in Japan from the perspective of concerned parties have not yet sufficiently advanced. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand the actual situations of young people who experience difficult living due to oppression and discrimination, and to clarify the analysis from their narratives and viewpoints. An interview survey is carried out on the life story of oppressed young people in youth support facilities, to enable the analysis and consideration of their actual situations and backgrounds. As a result, the dynamics in which social structural oppression is chained and multiple difficulties are individually manifested and internalized, and the viewpoint of concrete ideas for analyzing oppression have been clarified.
