Canadian Perspectives on Community Development (Paperback)

Founded in a perspective that speaks to the diversity of contexts and processes used across Canada, this work is nevertheless firmly grounded in theory, offering an in-depth analysis geared toward advanced study in community practice. This depth is further strengthened by the diversity of topics represented in this collective work: community work in various regions of the country exploring issues of poverty and environmental activism; community work with immigrants and refugees, and with trans communities; feminist community organizing as well as organizing with persons with disabilities and with members of linguistic communities; and, finally, artsbased community work with the elderly. This book is published in English. - S'il reflete une diversite de contextes et de processus mis en oeuvre partout au Canada, cet ouvrage est toutefois fermement ancre dans la theorie, convenant aux etudes avancees en pratique communautaire. La diversite des sujets que propose cet ouvrage collectif est d'un interet particulier, qu'il s'agisse du travail communautaire dans diverses regions du pays explorant les questions de la pauvrete et de l'activisme environnemental; le travail communautaire aupres des immigrants et des refugies et avec les communautes de personnes trans; l'organisation de la communaute feministe ainsi que celle des personnes handicapees ou celle des membres de communautes linguistiques, et enfin, le travail communautaire axe sur les arts aupres des personnes agees. Ce livre est publie en anglais.
