Review Quotes




"At a time when the challenges posed by a neoliberal world, a shrinking state and an increasingly polarized society have never been greater, this book gives both the conceptual and practical tools which are so needed by practitioners who are working for a more just world."
--Dave Beck, University of Glasgow

"Ledwith has again produced a powerful text for community development practitioners. This time she successfully links the activity with the crises of social injustice and ecological unsustainability in a highly recommendable and significant book."
--Keith Popple, visiting professor at London South Bank University, Bournemouth University, and Newman University, Birmingham
