Reviews
"Here is a how-to-book in the best sense: a primer in how to beat the dragons. It has been designed for community organizers: to know, to feel, and mostly to think creatively how, not so much to lead, as to incite the pow"erless to find the power and speak for themselves....Ed Chambers is something of a secular priest, with the community as his parish, teaching that the least of us have the right to lead decent lives. I should point out that his first real teacher was Dorothy Day." -Studs Terkel
"I found it refreshingly down-to-earth, usable by people (I'm one) who don't share all the ideological assumptions of the author, as well as by those who are convinced."" -Christianity Today"
'Overall the book was a good read and I recommend it.' Karen Gray, Journal of Community Practice, Vol 13, No. 4, 2005
"Roots for Radicals is the sort of book you want desperately to like. And...it's not difficult." --Charles Bertsch, Tikkun, Nov/Dec 2004 * Blurb from reviewer *
"This resource for organizers presents a distillation of the Industrial Areas Foundation philosophy and its approach to community organizing.." --Reference & Research Book News, February 2004 * Blurb from reviewer *
"Edward T. Chambers might know more about building democratic institutions than any man alive." -San Francisco Chronicle * San Francisco Chronicle *
