A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Urban Action Networks is a study of how communities organize in response to threats to their lives and well being. As Hiv/Aids wreaked havoc on the worlds of some of the most marginal and disenfranchised people in New York, they came together to create a shared response, forming a new organizational field within which their various efforts were coordinated. This book traces the interorganizational processes by which the groups negotiated shared meanings, collective strategies, and a complex, shifting set of relations with local and national government. It covers the first decade of Aids, when the organized community groups actively set the agenda. How the communities of the most affected people organized, reorganized, and redefined the social and political context of Hiv/Aids offers an encouraging glimpse into the way in which marginal communities can convert shared needs into collective action.
