This volume gathers a number of selected contributions from the XIX
Sitges Conference on "Jamming, Yielding, and Irreversible
Deformation in C- densed Matter", held at Sitges (Barcelona, Spain)
from 14-18 June, 2004. The contributions collected in this volume
provide a general overview of the "state of the art", and of the
recent developments, in the ?elds of material yield and
irreversible deformation in di?erent physical systems, which are of
great interest within the realm of Condensed Matter Physics. The
Conference was sponsored by several institutions that generously
provided ?nancial support: Ministerio de Educaci' on y Ciencia of
the Sp- ish Government, AGAUR of the Generalitat de Catalunya,
Universitat de Barcelona, and the Centre Especial de Recerca (CER)
F' ?sica de Sistemes Complexos. As in former editions of the
Conference, the city of Sitges allowed us to use the beautiful
Palau Maricel as the lecture hall. We thank them for their kind
hospitality. We are also very grateful to all those who
collaborated in organizing the event: M. Naspreda, A. P'
erez-Madrid, R. Pastor-Satorras, and S. Zapperi. Finally, we wish
to express our gratitude to all the speakers and parti- pants in
the Conference, who contributed with high scienti?c level presen-
tions, and created a very pleasant atmosphere.

Clodomir Santos de Morais is to organizational and entrepreneurial
literacy what his Brazilian confrere, Paulo Freire, is to ordinary
literacy. This book introduces for the first time in English the
experiences of grassroots development workers who have applied his
ideas of the Organization Workshop (OW) and capacitation in highly
diverse social settings. One of the most exciting aspects of de
Morais's methods of working with the most marginalized sectors of
society is their relevance not just to Third World countries, but
also to Eastern Europe's economies in transition and the most
deprived areas of the industrialized countries. This highly
distinctive grassroots development approach to empowering socially
excluded strata in economic and organizational terms holds out the
prospect of becoming a very important factor in the struggle
against poverty.
