Review Quotes
Professional Social Work
“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.”
Community Development Journal
“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.”
Barry Checkoway, University of Michigan
“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.”
Mick Carpenter, University of Warwick, emeritus
“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.”
