Community Empowerment: Critical Perspectives from Scotland
Edited by Akwugo Emejulu and Mae Shaw
The theme that unites this publication is a concern about the meaning, politics, possibilities and practices of empowerment. As our contributors demonstrate, community empowerment is neither an unproblematic idea nor necessarily an unmitigated social good. The challenge for those working in communities–especially as the state begins to withdraw support–is redefining what we want community empowerment to be and what practices we should undertake to achieve this vision.
