Description
Participatory Practice: Community-based Action for Transformative Change by Margaret Ledwith and Jane Springett is a comprehensive guide to holistic and radical practice in community development. This updated second edition reflects recent advances, including the impact of neoliberalism and austerity, and challenges posed by climate change and the pandemic. The authors argue that transformative practice begins with everyday stories about people's lives, generating practical theory that informs both policy and practice. The book bridges the divide between community development ideas and practice, featuring new content, reflective questions, key points highlighted throughout each chapter, and a glossary of terms. This long-awaited edition will be of interest to academics and practitioners working in health, education, and other settings, offering valuable insights into participatory practice that can inform policy and practice.
