This edited collection explains the importance of community
empowerment in advancing public policy, and gives examples of how
professionals have successfully mobilized the public in the past.
Written primarily for students, academics, and lawyers, this book
also attempts to bridge the widely publicized gap between
professional advocates and grassroots organizations. The authors
hope to demonstrate two basic principles: that the democratization
of research and specialized practice enables the production of new
insights; and that professionals' participation in the process of
empowerment of low-income communities is transformative in ways
that are enriching both professionally and personally.

Globalization is transforming societies everywhere in paradoxical
and contradictory ways. This book examines globalization's impact
on race in the United States since the mid-1970s. On one hand,
globalization is creating conditions that support intensified
efforts to claim white privileges. But globalization also creates
new possibilities for anti-racist movements, and thus the potential
to undermine racial privileges. Globalization is thus transforming
the terrain of all racial projects in the United States. This book
is an original contribution to the study of race. It provides a
structural analysis of race, and a methodology for connecting
global to national and local racial processes. Written in a lively
and down to earth style, this book is a call to action in a time of
fear and hope.
