social disability, refugees in Sweden, Social Work and MigrationAbstract
The history of Social Work has been closely linked to the mobility of the poor. These mobilities have always been object of interventions, both the internal mobility of the national poor as well as the movements of those poor perceived as strangers in the national context. The social integration and / or social exclusion of migrants occupied the pioneers of Social Work and during the past century migrants has continued to occupy a considerable part of the work hours of social workers. However, neither mobility nor migrants have been a recognized part of the social work history narrative. The topic of this article is how refugeeness and migration have been conceptualized as a state of social disability in both Swedish Social Work policies and practice. This conceptualization has legitimized the expansion of Social Work as dominant factor in the social integration process of refugees and other groups. It is a story that gives new perspectives on the dominant narratives about the inclusive character of the Swedish welfare state.
