Description
Class, Inequality and Community Development by Mae Shaw and Marjorie Mayo explores how class analysis can inform community development policies and practices. The authors argue that neglecting social class in discussions of community development can mask underlying causes of structural inequality and even exacerbate divisions between groups competing for limited resources. This book brings together a diverse range of contributors from across the global north and south to examine how an understanding of social class can offer ways forward in the face of increasing social polarisation. The authors consider class as a dynamic and contested concept, examining its application in policies and practices past and present, including local/global alliances, community organising, ecology, gender and education. By shedding light on the role of class analysis in community development, this book provides valuable insights for those working to address inequality and promote more equitable communities.
