This book speaks to a lacuna in current social work practice theory: community change. Much work in this area of macro practice, particularly around "grassroots" community organiing, has a somewhat dated feel to it, is highly ideological in orientation, or–in the case of many "generalist" treatments of the topic–suffers from superficiality, particularly in the area of theory and practical application.
