OverviewThe book provides researchers, students, and practitioners in public health, anthropology, and related fields with a brief introduction to a health-care model, Community Participatory Involvement (CPI), which for 20 years has proved successful in fighting global health problems. CPI differs from other community-based models in that it involves a unique synergy of local, civil, and political authorities. Using a South American cholera epidemic as an example, the book -explains in step-by-step detail how the CPI model is used;-includes teaching activities, a list of important tools, and model workshops;-demonstrates how the CPI model can be replicated to deal with a diverse range of public concerns, from the control of infectious diseases to animal husbandry to teacher education.

The individual stories are moving and instructive. I am extremely pleased with the clear descriptions of how to do community work, perfect for my students drawn from nursing, public health, anthropology, and elsewhere. The scientific elements are all there: ethnography and epidemiology working together to provide a rich descriptive data base. In addition, the authors show that an understanding of structural violence in a historical context is essential for making positive social changes at the local level. The use of a participatory framework is particularly well described, making it easy for students and practitioners at both local and national levels to develop and maintain CPI projects. I recommend the book highly. Noel Chrisman, Professor, University of Washington School of Nursing A clearly written, compelling narrative, this book personalizes one intervention model, conveying poignant real-world experiences and contributing to the dialogue on international public health. Community Participatory Involvement offers a necessary anthropological perspective on program design, implementation, and evaluation for health interventions in resource-scarce settings. Richard A.
