Class, Inequality and Community Development: Rethinking Community Development

Autor Mae Shaw, Marjorie Mayo
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 sep 2016
With inequality continuing to be an incredibly salient political and social issue, this book on the part it plays in community development could not be more timely. Arguing strenuously that class analysis should be central to any discussion of the potential benefits of community development, because otherwise development can simply mask the underlying causes of inequality, the book brings together contributors from a wide range of backgrounds to explore the ways that an understanding of class can offer a new path in the face of increasing social polarization.

Recenzii

“Although community work/development is no longer in the repertoire of most social workers, this book reminds us what the possibilities once were and perhaps could be again.”

“Quite simply a wonderful book about the challenge of rethinking what community development can become in the twenty-first century. . .deserves to be read widely.”

“This wonderful new book is a welcomed contribution to the literature which relates community development to social class and public policy—with special emphasis on inequalities in society.”

“This coherent and timely collection makes the convincing case for social class to be moved from the sidelines back to the center of theory and practice in contemporary community development.”
