Publisher's Synopsis
Discusses the techniques used by trade unions, tenants organizations, political candidates and protest movements to motivate, create, and maintain a community organization. Burghardt works from three basic premises: that in the political and economic climate of the 80′s, community organizers are on the defensive - the techniques of the more optimistic 60′s are no longer useful. Community organizers must now respect the personal strengths and limitations of its members: they must be allowed to determine the targets in their own terms.
