Murphy (10/6/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>The world is changing rapidly and the practice of Community Organizing needs to change with it. Representing both an homage to, and a departure from the alinsky traditions of organizing, <strong>Consensus Organizing</strong> offers techniques that are specifically designed for urban and rural communities struggling to succeed in the global economy and the information age. Ohmer and DeMasi are experienced organizers who offer a relentlessly thorough examination of the process of bringing diverse communities together to make change and to bridge the ethnic and economic divisions that keep many communities from succeeding.</em>--Bill Traynor, Executive Director (9/4/2008 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>The case studies and class activities are excellent. The concise summary of consensus organizing would be useful.--Gary Paul Green "American Sociological Association" (6/8/2010 12:00:00 AM)<br>
