This book underscores the importance of moving beyond lip service
or hollow platitudes to mobilize and expand the capacity of social
justice movements to foster policy change and incubate new programs
at the local, state, and federal levels. In the wake of global
protests spurred by acts of police brutality in the United States,
present-day problematic policing and racial injustice in Black and
Brown communities surged to the forefront of political discourse in
recent years. Institutionalized backlash politics, which emerged
during the post-Civil Rights era, perpetuated and further
exacerbated generations-long racial disparities and stymied
systemic change. This edited volume describes pilot programs and
community-based initiatives that show promise as tools for equity
and racial justice in Black and Brown communities. This book will
be of great value to scholars and academics interested in racism,
justice, community development and social work. The chapters in
this book were originally published in the Journal of Community
Practice.
The second edition of Qualitative Research Methods for Community
Development teaches the basic skills, tools, and methods of
qualitative research with special attention to the needs of
community practitioners. This book teaches students entering
planning, community development, nonprofit management, social work,
and similar applied fields the core skills necessary to conduct
systematic research designed to empower communities and promote
social change. Focusing on the basic elements of qualitative
research, such as field observation, interviewing, focus groups,
and content analysis, this second edition of this book provides an
overview of core methods and theoretical underpinnings of
successful research. It also includes two new chapters on
qualitative data analysis software and techniques for conducting

community organizing, neighborhood planning, and urban
revitalization, this book gives students the skills they need to
undertake their own projects and provides professionals a valuable
reference for their future research. This book serves as a primary
text for courses in applied qualitative research and as a reference
book for professionals and community-based researchers.
