Drawing on over 30 years of experience in community development
practice, Shragge offers a historical look at community organizing
and local activism from its development in 1960 to the contemporary
practices of young activists today, adding his personal reflections
along the way. In the process, he makes links between a variety of
forms of local organizing and the broader goal of fundamental
social change. The book begins with the author's reflection on
several of his experiences in community organizing practice over
the past thirty years and introduces the basic themes of the book.
From there, Shragge explores various theoretical models as well as
historical traditions of community organizing with practice
examples drawn from Quebec, as well as a survey of contributions
from social movements, highlighting lines of continuity amongst and
between them. A critical discussion of contemporary trends in
community development practice is included as well as the future of
local activism as described by young activists. The final chapter
of the book offers a way to understand the history, theory, and
practice of local activism and community organizing within the
context of the broader fight for social change.
