Description

Community Development for Social Change by Dave Beck and Rod Purcell provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of community development. This book explores best practices from around the world, linking them to the UK context, and integrates key underpinning theories with real-world examples. The authors discuss essential strategies for promoting individual and community empowerment, challenging discrimination, building and sustaining groups, and critical reflection on practice. The book also examines a range of practice models, including popular education and community organising, as well as common issues faced by community development workers. Case studies from the UK and overseas are used to illustrate good practice in diverse contexts, with analysis focusing on the values of community development, social justice, and underlying theories. This book is an invaluable resource for those studying community development or working in related fields, including local government, voluntary agencies, and community-based organisations.
