Book synopsis

This book speaks to a lacuna in current social work practice theory: community change. Much work in this area of macro practice, particularly around "grassroots" community organizing, has a somewhat dated feel to it, is highly ideological in orientation, or-in the case of many "generalist" treatments of the topic-suffers from superfi ciality, particularly in the area of theory and practical application. Set against the context of an often narrowly constructed "clinical" emphasis on practice education, coupled with social work's own current rendering of "scientifi c management," community practice often takes second or third billing in many professional curricula despite its deep roots in the overall fi eld of social welfare.
