Working with communities - Judy Taylor

Working with Communities examines the critical ideas about community work and associated concepts such as social inclusion, social capital, community participation, community capacity building, and community partnerships. It provides students with the theoretical foundations of community work related to current practice. Practice skills are explained through excellent case studies, and a range of practitioner perspectives. This blend of practice perspectives assists the reader in their understanding of communities and community work by providing guidance for explaining the complex relationships between government and non-government roles, partnerships and community participation.
