Community Development by Margaret Ledwith
Advocates a critical approach to community development that locates theory in practice, emphasising its transformative rather than ameliorative potential. Grounded in the pedagogy of Paulo Freire and drawing on feminist and other relevant theories, this book helps readers gain an understanding of key community development theories.
This is a wonderfully readable and thoughtful book that merges theory and practice in challenging social inequality - the late Paulo Freire's central concernMargaret Ledwith's long experience in community work underlies the vitality and insight in this new edition. For studying community needs, and for the future of 'those-not-yet-in-power', Ledwith's new edition is essential reading. Professor Ira Shor, City University of New York Graduate School, USA
