Understanding Community is a practical guide to understanding policies and underlying theories relating to community. This substantially revised edition draws upon theories from Marx and Bourdieu to offer a clearer understanding of community in capitalist society. Peter Somerville presents a close examination of government policies in areas such as economic development, education, health care, housing, and safety and sets them in the context of our understanding of crucial concepts like community cohesion, social capital, and capacity building. The book also explores the dark side of community to show how phenomena such as riots, gangs, and terrorism can be understood as expressions of alternative ways to organize in search of community. The result is a book that challenges our understanding of community and assesses the strengths and limitations of our conceptual framework for thinking about and working with communities.

[EAN: 9781447316077], Neubuch, [PU: Bristol University Press, United Kingdom], Language: English. Brand new Book. This substantially revised edition of a highly topical text draws upon theory from Marx and Bourdieu to offer a clearer understanding of community in capitalist society. The book takes a more critical look at the literature on community, community development and the politics of community, and applies this critical approach to themes introduced in the first edition on economic development, learning, health and social care, housing, and policing, taking into account the changes in policy that have taken place, particularly in the UK, since the first edition was written. It will be a valuable resource for researchers and students of social policy, sociology and politics as well as areas of housing and urban studies., Books<
