Community by Gerard Delanty

Community by Gerard Delanty

Stimulating introduction to the concept of community, with an analysis of its origins in western utopian thought and as an imagined primitive state equated with traditional societies in classical sociology and anthropology.

'Delanty displays a wide knowledge of the literature and a lively and innovative style of theorising which makes the book more original.. I have found Delanty's book to be a model of clarity and synthesis. I hope that this book reaches the wide readership it deserves, not just amongst students but also amongst those in politics and the media who help to mould the contemporary zeitgeist.' - Ray Pahl, Urban Studies

'An excellent read for all social work educators and social work students, especially those involved in policy practice and community level practice.' - Victor Manalo, The Social Policy Journal

'George Delanty, Professor of Sociology at the University of Liverpool, provides not only a concise and well-written review of the major issues and debates in the social science literature regarding the conceptualization of the communitybut builds upon these debates for theorizing community today.'- Victor Manalo, The Social Policy Journal
