Neighborhood Organizer's Handbook.

En savoir plus sur le livre

The Neighborhood Organizer's Handbook is a good nuts and bolts book on community organizing. It is based on the premise that an effective neighborhood organizer should have an understanding of the different types and functions of neighborhoods. This book takes the reader through the process of analysis, figuring out how different neighborhoods make use of information and how they link (or do not link up with) larger communities and social structures. It also contains a fine chapter on how to get started in unfamiliar settings. This book is a must for anyone who is interested in the practical aspect of organizing. It is also useful for the non-practitioner who just wants to learn how to think about and analyze neighborhoods.
