Reviews
An outstanding undertaking and outcome! The critical praxis framework Collier articulates and illustrates captures the complexities, contradictions, and challenges of community engagement in the neoliberal global context; the framework also calls for fluidity, reflexivity, and innovation that can generate new perspectives and approaches - practical and theoretical - to enhance community-based social justice work. Highly recommended! (Kathryn Sorrells, Professor, Communication Studies, California State University, Northridge) Through a better understanding of the complex assumptions, underlying contexts, cultural baggage, historical background, and power relations pertaining to difficult situations, Collier and her coauthors and collaborators take us around the world and back home to places we might know little about. Collier breaks down, in expert fashion, the communicative dimensions that both limit and have the potential to produce mutual self-recognition. Her metaphor of 'dancing' with difference captures Collier et al.'s voice - patient, engaging, apt, energetic, willing to move next to and with her subject creatively, artistically, humanistically, sensitively, and performatively. (Kent A. Ono, Professor and Chair, Communication, University of Utah)
