Community Organization and Development by Herbert J Rubin

Community Organization and Development by Herbert J Rubin

This revised edition of a well-known and widely used text in community organizing and development fully examines the broad and changing political and social settings that influence actions; while portraying the infra-structure of social change -- the knowledge, personnel, and organizations -- that enable such work to be successfully accomplished. The text brings together the practicalities of organizing and development -- fund raising, working out news releases, running an organization, orchestrating political actions, academic knowledge -- and explains why various approaches work; as well as the values and ideologies that guide what is to be done. It provides the foundations of organizing and development work and then describes how activists -- through following either a social confrontation model or an economic and social production approach -- can respond to economic and social problems.

Professor of Sociology at Northern Illinois University, Herbert J. Rubin He is the coauthor (with Irene Rubin) of Qualitative Interviewing: The Art of Hearing Data and Community Organization and Development, as well as Applied Social Research and The Dynamics of Development in Rural Thailand.
