Beskrivning

Community development’s social justice principles are under threat from the current resurgence of far-Right politics. The dangerous escalation of economic inequalities calls for new ideas on power and new approaches to practice. Rooted in radical community development’s strong theoretical foundation in Freire and Gramsci, the body of knowledge is expanded to make sense of these challenging times, introducing exciting new ideas for those working in this field. Written in an engaging style, linking theory to action using cartoons, international case studies and key concept summaries, the fully updated third edition of this bestselling book offers an inspiring approach to practice for all those committed to social and environmental justice. It will be an invaluable resource for students in community development and related disciplines.

“Europe currently faces many challenges: poverty, inequality, migration, increased racism, xenophobia and populism, the democratic deficit and the environmental crisis. Ledwith makes sense of these and promotes critically reflective community development practice.” Alex Downie, European Community Development Network
