{"product_id":"doing-community-economic-development-9781552662212","title":"Doing Community Economic Development","description":"Challenging traditional notions of development, these essays examine bottom-up, community economic-development strategies in a wide variety of contexts—as a means of improving lives in rural, and inner-city settings, shaped and driven by women and by Aboriginal people, and aimed at employment creation for the most marginalized. Most authors have employed a participatory research methodology, but all of the essays are the Product of a broader, three-year community–university research collaboration. This same collaboration focuses on the strengths and difficulties of participatory, capacity-building strategies for those marginalized by the competitive, profit-seeking forces of capitalism. Many exciting initiatives with great potential are described and critically evaluated, along with on-the-ground descriptions of a wide variety of community economic-development projects, from urban aboriginal businesses to the rural and agricultural fields.","brand":"John Loxley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48276696957179,"sku":"9781552662212","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/doing-community-economic-development-9781552662212","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
