Reviews
This brief gem of a book is an essential read for students of community studies at all levels. With great care and precision, Crow outlines key features of community studies past and present, providing a critical framework for both understanding and doing dynamic, relevant community studies today. * Luke Eric Lassiter, Director, Graduate Humanities Program, Marshall University Graduate College, USA *
Graham Crow's new book is a hymn to sociological studies of community. This focused and precise volume is a perfect first-step in understanding the long history of community studies, the key debates surrounding the approach, and a guide to the lessons previous community researchers have learnt. * Jon Dean in Cultural Sociology *
