Description

This exciting book is a pioneering work of integrated praxis, situating theory within a participatory worldview and grounding practice in the important issues of our times - social justice and sustainability.Â The book will be of interest to both academics and community-based practitioners. Review "Among the growing number of books on community participation and community-engaged research, this book stands out for its accessibility to community members and practitioners alike, and its in-depth coverage of the role of dialogue and critical reflection, that are so central to this enterprise. I love this book, and recommend it to anyone who wishes to work 'with ... rather than on' communities toward truly transformative change." Meredith Minkler, University of California, Berkeley"Accessible, grounded in practice and theory - an excellent introduction for final year students to key ideas." Jean Hatton, University of Huddersfield"Provides an interesting and important approach to action research. Well-written, and an engaging text." Kate Black, University of ChesterI am delighted to see this book which envisions participatory practice as a 'practical utopia', a transformative way of seeing the world combined with practical approaches to change through emancipatory action research in community, with implications for health and well-being. In seeking to integrate the practical with the visionary, the authors are offering us a way of seeing our lives as community developers, health promoters, citizens and professionals as expressions of fundamental values such as freedom, equality, respect and reciprocity Professor Peter Reason, Centre for Action Research in Professional Practice, University of Bath About the Author Margaret Ledwith lives in Lancaster where she is Emeritus Professor of Community Development and Social Justice at the University of Cumbria. She is also a coordinator of the international Collaborative Action Research Network.
