Synopsis
Presenting a new framework for linking direct service in the community to direct action, this book takes students through the entire process of organizing a community protest all the way through to achieving sustainable and lasting change/action. It is organized in three parts, the first part presents the framework; the second presents narratives from community organizers; the final part is an in-depth case study of a program that presents and illustrates the exact process from protest to action., Community Projects as Social Activism: From Direct Action to Direct Services by Benjamin Shepard is an engaging and accessible work that will get todays students excited about the very real prospect of achieving lasting, positive change within their communities. It outlines a distinct approach to community practice born out of the intersection among social movements, day-to-day organizing, and the lessons of five decades of community change practices. This invaluable resource is a must-have for anyone involved in community organization, community health, and community activism practice research and policy.
