Margaret Ledwith is one of the UK's most highly regarded community development practitioners and academics. This book, developed from her classic text, Participating in Transformation, is an invaluable new resource for students and practitioners in the field. The book advocates a critical approach to community development that locates theory in practice, emphasizing its transformative rather than ameliorative potential. Grounded in the pedagogy of Paulo Freire and drawing on feminist and other relevant theories, it helps readers · gain an understanding of key community development theories; · develop practical skills alongside the ability to analyze and reflect; · relate ideas and theories to skills and practice in community development. The text is brought to life through a series of narrative case studies, drawn from the author's own experiences, which clearly illustrate how to apply the ideas, models, and analyses discussed. Practitioners, students, and educators involved in community development, youth and community work, social work, health, and education, as well as those in other professions that have a community development focus, will find this an invaluable contribution to theory and practice today.
