Building Communities from the Inside Out: A Path Toward Finding and Mobilizing a Community's Assets

Customer Reviews:

Kretzmann and McKnight help us see through new eyes.

By A Customer - March 25, 1999

Building Communities from the Inside Out guides readers to a new, asset-based approach to community building that proves everyone has a gift to share. The book offers practical advice, helpful tools, and powerful stories that help us see communities in new ways--as treasure troves of talent. Kretzmann and McKnight's front-line experience working with neighborhoods across America has created a vital tool for transforming city blocks into neighborhoods and isolated residents into change agents. For anyone who longs to make a difference, this book is a MUST! I am a partner in a consulting firm that guides healthy community initiatives across America--this book is one of my most valued resources.

The first book I might suggest is Ending Violent Crime Cheaply and Permanently: A Vision Of A Society Free Of Violence. For many inner city communities, significant sectors of the minority male population are cycled through a school of violent crime, where the gangs do their corporate training, at Ivy League tuition costs. This is not useful. We need a better way. This book... read more
