Description
Katherine Giuffre's Communities and Networks explores how social networks shape our lives and identities in urban areas. By applying social network analysis to community studies, she examines questions such as what holds communities together and what happens when they fragment or fall apart. This book provides both theoretical grounding and clear technical explanations of the tools of network analysis, enabling readers to gain a deeper understanding of social life and relationships that build and break communities. With engaging case examples, it offers a fresh perspective on community life, revealing sometimes surprising results and insights.
