Description
Critical Community Practice by Hugh Butcher provides a challenging approach to understanding community practice. It offers a theoretical perspective on power and empowerment, exploring new ways of understanding active citizenship. The book covers a range of topics, including a model of critical community practice, case studies from Britain and elsewhere, and the development of the critical practitioner. This analysis is set out in the context of work with community groups, management, policy, politics, and regeneration initiatives. This book will be of interest to those involved in community practice, as well as students on professional and management programmes in community development, health, housing, planning, and other disciplines with a community focus.
