Wonderful Examples of Advocasy

Wonderful Examples of Advocacy!This book really illustrates the power of the community. To describe important aspects of community advocacy, the chapters provide real life macro studies by the way of peer-review articles, narratives, and excerts from other books. Each chapter illustrates and describes how communities have been gathered together to create change and then explains the importance of building and enhancing quality of life within a variety of oppressed populations. Instructors of social work or similar fields with a Macro focus will really enjoy the real life studies which students can identify with. Highly Recommend for teaching the importance of community as a whole.
