"A rich and compelling portrait of the community organizing landscape in America. This is an important book for anyone interested in the possibilities and strategies of progressive politics."-Paul Osterman, author of Gathering Power: The Future of Progressive Politics in America
"This is simply the best overview of the field of American community organizing today. Marion Orr has gathered in one place cutting edge analysis by many of the leading scholars of contemporary organizing. The volume includes an excellent discussion of how the political, cultural, economic and social context for organizing has changed since the days of Saul Alinsky and the challenges these changes pose for contemporary organizing. Unlike most other treatments of community organizing, it pays serious attention to the dynamic relationship between local organizing and the forging of a national movement for social justice. Readers of this book will gain a rich understanding of the array of important efforts community organizers are making to build political power for those most left out of our political system."-Mark Warren, author of Dry Bones Rattling: Community Building to Revitalize Democracy
