- Infuses discussion of values, power and social identity into
every chapter, providing students with a strong frame of view that
encompasses and applies the concepts of social justice and
intersectionality. - Strong theoretical background of critical
race, identity, and feminist scholarship is applied through the
authors' use of rich examples and reflective writing exercises,
which guide the reader to explore contemporary issues
theoretically, reflexively, and experientially. - Conversational
style and easy-to-follow organization of chapters both permit
students to approach and deeply reflect upon deceptively complex
ideas and social issues and, also, teach them to practice social
responsibility and justice-minded activism in their professions.

Alongside Community is a step-by-step guide that prepares social
science students to be democratic citizens by examining the theory,
method, and sociopolitical dynamics that impact helping those
different from oneself. The first part of this book explores the
more theoretical issues of helping others, including issues of
social identity, values, and power. The second part of this
guidebook examines action-based methods; interventions available
for community-based engagement; and the sociopolitical issues that
inevitably arise for those who strive to create social change
including issues of race, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual
orientation, mental health, educational and environmental justice
along with suggestions on how to address these issues. The third
part of Alongside Community critically explores how to measure the
impact of community service on major stakeholders including
student, faculty, college and community agency and ends with
reflections and suggestions on how to be a lifelong civically
engaged citizen.
