Publisher Description: The fully updated third edition of this bestselling book offers a radical approach to community development. Building on the theories of Gramsci and Freire, new ideas are introduced which offer an inspiring approach to practice for all those committed to social and environmental justice. Neoliberalism has created a dangerous escalation of economic inequalities with inevitable environmental consequences. Practice needs to be informed by analyses of power, and links are made using international case studies, cartoons, and key concept summaries. |
