This book provides an interdisciplinary examination of the multiple
meanings of "empowerment." Rather than seeking to define and
critique this term, it draws out a range of different meanings,
exploring diverse possibilities for action and engagement. We must
carefully examine the possibilities and limits of the approaches to
empowerment we choose. Efforts focused on building individual
skills and capacities, for example, may overlook opportunities for
supporting more collective, community-based forms of social action.
In concise chapters, the book maps out a range of ways that people
can be empowered along different continuums of power, moving from
more familiar forms of teaching and counselling to less common and
more radical strategies for fostering solidarity and civil
resistance. This will be of great interest to advanced students and
scholars in a wide variety of fields, particularly social work,
public health, sociology, education, and international development
as an introductory yet comprehensive study of the nuances of
empowerment.
