Community Organizing and Community Building for Health

From Book News, Inc.
The revised edition of Minkler's text on grass-roots public health work provides insights into systems of inequality in the US that have public-health consequences, such as race, class, and gender. Minkler (health and social behavior, U. of California, Berkeley) chose chapters that address areas including the use of community organizing to influence policy; use of 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. The intended audience is professionals in fields such as health education that lie at the interface of health systems and communities.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
