Descriere
Presenting a new framework for linking direct service in the community to direct action, this book takes students through the entire process of organizing a community protest all the way through to achieving sustainable and lasting change/action. It is organized in three parts, the first part presents the framework; the second presents narratives from community organizers; the final part is an in-depth case study of a program that presents and illustrates the exact process from protest to action.
