New Paper: A Critique of “Community Organizing in the Eighties”

Posted by on November 9, 2009

[posted from Comm-Org]

I am very pleased to announce an addition to the COMM-ORG papers collection:

Mike Miller, A Critique of John McKnight & John Kretzmann’s “Community Organizing in the Eighties: Toward a Post-Alinsky Agenda”

The paper is available through http://comm-org.wisc.edu/comm-org/page.php?7

While Mike wrote the paper some time ago, it is quite relevant given our recent list discussion and current events that seem to call into question non-conflict organizing models.

This paper also inaugurates a new COMM-ORG website module where you can discuss the paper online if you wish.  You will see in the table of contents a “reader comments” link that will take you to an online forum.  You need to register on the website in order to post comments.
