Contributors from around the world (from India to the Netherlands and USA) grapple with ethical dilemmas and tensions, including how to: respect and learn from Indigenous values and philosophies; challenge environmental destruction; gain consent in divided communities; maintain or breach professional boundaries; and develop new paradigms for transformative community organising, sustainable development and ethically-sensitive practice.
Offering theoretical frameworks, philosophical perspectives and practical case examples (from sex worker collectives to tree action groups and Australian Indigenous communities) this book is essential reading for community-based practitioners, students and academics.
Reviews / Votes
"This book gave me a lot to think about and provided important new perspectives. Community development can sometimes take its values for granted; this certainly challenges that way of thinking. I thoroughly recommend it." Marilyn Taylor, Birkbeck College, University of LondonMore details
