| Publisher Description: Founded in a perspective that speaks to the diversity of contexts and processes used across Canada, this work is nevertheless firmly grounded in theory, offering an in-depth analysis geared toward advanced study in community practice. This depth is further strengthened by the diversity of topics represented in this collective work: community work in various regions of the country exploring issues of poverty and environmental activism; community work with immigrants and refugees, and with trans communities; feminist community organizing as well as organizing with persons with disabilities and with members of linguistic communities; and, finally, artsbased community work with the elderly. This book is published in English. - S'il refl te une diversit de contextes et de processus mis en oeuvre partout au Canada, cet ouvrage est toutefois fermement ancr dans la th orie, convenant aux tudes avanc es en pratique communautaire.
