"The book covers a wide range of theoretical and practice topics, first presenting a model of critical community practice, the authors draw upon a variety of case studies from Britain and elsewhere to discuss this in the context of: work in and with community groups; management; policy and politics; and development of the critical practitioner." "The book will be relevant for all those people working to promote change and development in communities and provides an essential text for students on a range of professional and management programmes in community development, health, housing, planning and other disciplines with a community focus."--Jacket.
