Reviews

Today, when the polarized, unproductive, scripted quality of most party politics turns Americans off, when our mounting problems require skilled citizen engagement on an unmatched scale, and when many observers lament the erosion of civic life, we need new voices and approaches. Orr and his colleagues provide both in this remarkable and welcome volume. Harry C. Boyte, Co-Director, Center for Democracy and Citizenship A rich and compelling portrait of the community organizing landscape in America. This is an important book for anyone interested in the possibilities and strategies of progressive politics. Paul Osterman, author of Gathering Power: The Future of Progressive Politics in America
