Originally published in 1978 this book was compiled with practitioners in mind. It clarifies the implications of significant political theories and issues of the 20th Century which affected their work. Drawing on case studies from their own experience, the contributors underline the political variables facing the community worker, whatever the context. Examples are from the local neighbourhood, from inside and outside the local authority, and – dramatically illustrating the ideological, practical and political dilemmas faced in some form by most community groups – from a picture of community action in Northern Ireland. The final section considers two growing strands in community work – the importance attached to developing knowledge and technical competence, and the increasing emphasis being given to making alliances with other relevant groups and organisations.
