Community Intervention: Clinical Sociology Perspectives showcases
important efforts to improve the quality of life in communities
around the world. The book, a project of the clinical sociology
division of the International Sociological Association, describes
the interdisciplinary field of clinical sociology in relation to
community improvement. The first part of the book covers important
concepts and tools for community intervention and identifies a
variety of approaches to community research with an emphasis on
research that centrally involves community members. The chapters in
the second part of the volume focus on projects in a broad range of
countries, covering topics such as involving residents in urban
renewal projects, developing healthy communities, encouraging
socioeconomic development, improving the life of immigrants,
helping communities deal with climate change, establishing human
rights cities, encouraging empowerment and creating an inclusive
community. A unique feature of the book is the inclusion of
profiles about some of the outstanding work in community
intervention over the last 100 years. These profiles are of Nobel
Peace Prize winner Jane Addams; community activist Saul Alinsky;
human rights and environmental activist Wangari Maathai and
participatory action research pioneer Orlando Fals Borda. Written
by scholar-practitioners as well as analysts, the book provides
essential commentary regarding community intervention efforts.
