The text brings together the practicalities of organizing and development -- fund raising, working out news releases, running an organization, orchestrating political actions, academic knowledge -- and explains why various approaches work; as well as the values and ideologies that guide what is to be done. It provides the foundations of organizing and development work and then describes how activists -- through following either a social confrontation model or an economic and social production approach -- can respond to economic and social problems. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

Social Work Macro bookAug 28, 2011
By Jessica
Great textbook, surprisingly easy to read and conceptually follow. Doesn't read like a normal text book. I feel like there were ideas in the book that were outside the scope of our class (positively). If you are interested in community planning and social action on a macro scale this is a great reference book.
