Community Development: A Critical Approach (Second Edition) Margaret Ledwith (2011) Polity Press

Abstract

  This second edition of Margaret Ledwith’s Community Development: A Critical Approach offers a critical and searching review of community activism and theory that is clearly positioned in the contemporary era of global economic, social and environmental crisis.   As Ira Shor notes in his foreword, Margaret Ledwith has a great capacity to ‘model the approach she recommends, wonderfully merging conceptual and practical matters in relation to community development’ (p.x).
