"Many of the complex health and
social problems that have accompanied us into the twenty-first
century-problems such as HIV/AIDS, homelessness, environmental
injustice, and violence-have proved ill suited to traditional
"outside expert" approaches to research and the often disappointing
community interventions they have helped spawn." - excerpted from
this book
