This book provides much needed guidance at an opportune moment. It draws from rich experiences at home and abroad to recommend a kind of community engagement that aims toward social justice and individual empowerment at the same time. It should be read by all those hoping to understand and enrich the quality of local democracy. Archon Fung, John F Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
