| Review | "This incisive book provides a critical history and analysis of community organizing, the tradition of bringing groups together to build power and forge grassroots leadership for social, economic, racial, and enviromental justice. Begun by Saul Alinsky in the 1930s, this movement today comprises nearly 200 institution-based groups active in 40 US states and is spreading internationally." |
