Revue de presse :

"This book provides much needed guidance at an opportune moment. It draws from rich experiences at home and abroad to recommend a kind of community engagement that aims toward social justice and individual empowerment at the same time. It should be read by all those hoping to understand and enrich the quality of local democracy." --Archon Fung, John F Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University

"This book combines critical theoretical analysis with reflective professional practice, illustrated with examples drawn from diverse professional contexts. It will provide an invaluable resource for students and practising professionals alike - I shall certainly be strongly recommending this as a key text for my students." --Marjorie Mayo, Goldsmiths, University of London
