Reviews
One of the book's major strengths is the author's emphasis on power at every turn in the organizing process, from making decisions about who to involve, to conducting the research necessary to analyze a situation, to uncovering what facts will mobilize the public and keep them engaged. . . . For social group workers and students of group work, the 3rd edition of Roots to Power presents essential elements of grassroots community organizing. Regardless of context, these elements are solidly grounded in practice theory. The book is methodically laid out with plenty of examples, case studies, and exercise to promote reflection, critique, and learning.

Synopsis
Written for those who want to improve their own lives or the lives of others, this thoroughly revised how-to manual presents techniques groups can use to organize successfully in pursuit of their dreams. The book combines time-tested, universal principles and methods with cutting-edge material addressing new opportunities and challenges. It covers basic concepts and best practices and offers step-by-step guidelines on things an organizer needs to know, such as how to identify issues, formulate strategies, set goals, recruit participants, and much more. The work focuses on six organizing arenas: turf/geography, failth-based, issue, identity, shared experience, and work-related. It offers new or expanded material addressing community development, use of social media, internal organizational dynamics, electoral organizing, evaluation/assessment, and prevention of burnout for key leaders. There are also nuts-and-bolts articles by experts who address topics such as action research, lobbying, legal tactics, and grassroots fundraising. Numerous case examples, charts, worksheets, and small group exercises enrich the discussion and bring the material to life., The third edition of the manual for community organizers tells readers how to most effectively implement community action for social change, clearly laying out grassroots organizing principles, methods, and best practices.

- i***9 (8)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI appreciate the deal I was able to get on both books I ordered. They came as pictured and described in the listing and look good! My only complaint is the packaging could be better, I got two paperback books that were not shipped in a box but rather and envelope and one of the covers arrived bent. So I would recommend the seller use bubblewrap or a box to ship future orders.
