Organizing and Community Building for Health, 2nd Edition Hardcover: 489 pages
The book includes timely and powerful case studies of lessons learned and challenges faced in community building and organizing. This book provides conceptual tools for creating and implementing strategies for community-based approaches to public health. At a time of unprecedented challenges and opportunities for agencies, outside funders, and policy makers, Community Organizing and Community Building for Heath provides the tools for professionals who are working to build healthier communities. In its second edition, this bestselling book includes updated versions of a number of the original chapters, as well as new chapters and appendixes in areas such as using community organizing to influence policy; using the arts in community building and organizing; online activism; and the role of cultural humility and systems change in building effective partnerships between local health departments and community residents. As public health problems such as HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, violence, and environmental toxins become an ever greater part of our national landscape, grassroots public health work has become all the more important. "Even more than in the first edition, which was outstanding, Meredith Minkler distinguishes herself by her rare ability to recognize, collect, and integrate innovative ideas on community, organizing, and health."—Richard A. Couto, author of To Give Their Gifts: Community, Health, and Democracy "For everyone working in and with
communities to improve the public’s health—professionals and
community members alike—this uniquely comprehensive guidebook is the
definitive resource."—H. Jack Geiger, M.D., Arthur C. Logan
Professor Emeritus of Community Medicine, City University of New
York Medical School This updated and revised edition of a highly praised volume provides meaningful insights into the systems of inequality in the United States-such as race, class, and gender-that impact health.
