Description
In this unique global collection, Gary Craig and his contributors blend theory and practice-based case studies to review how different community development approaches can empower minority ethnic communities to confront racism and overcome social, economic and political disadvantage.
Author Biography
Gary Craig has had a lifetime interest in community development as activist, researcher, teacher and in driving policy and practice in a social justice context. He has written widely on the subject, in books, articles and in magazines, was Editor of the Community Development Journal for many years and President of the International Association for Community Development. This book brings together that interest with his concern about the growth of racism worldwide.
Reviews"Community organising against racism fills a major gap in the literature on community development - an essential sourcebook for academics, students, practitioners and policy makers alike." Marjorie Mayo, Emeritus Professor of Community Development, Goldsmiths, University of London
