Table of ContentsReviewsA fine book, a tribute to the work of the Fourth World Movement.>>>>--Mary Jo Bane, Harvard University A fine book, a tribute to the work of the Fourth World Movement. -- Mary Jo Bane, Harvard University This is a beautiful book about the work of Father Wresinski and his colleagues with the poorest of the poor in Europe, and it is unique in that it speaks not only of 'serving' people in poverty but honoring their dignity and learning from their works and lives. -- Jonathan Kozol, Author 'Artisans of Democracy' offers a VISIONARY REALISM that can improve the lives of the most excluded-and all of us. -- S.M. Miller, Boston College This book should be required reading for social policy makers and those trying to understand how social change occurs. -- Daniel Kronenfeld, Executive Director, Henry Street Settlement, New York ... because the guidelines for social action can be applied to many projects, the book will have great relevance for practitioners... its message will be especially welcome in a world where faith-based organizations and 'compassionate conservatism'carry the day.

Politics, Social Movements, and The State All told, 'Artisans of Democracy' offers a jarring and energizing read, one quite different from run-of-the-mill political theory. In its narrative- and its theoretical refection firmly rooted in the narratives- the book challenges many familiar political philosophical assumptions and conceptualizations. -- David Kahane, University of Alberta Social Theory and Practice ...useful for professors and students interested in capturing the ups, downs, and complexities of direct community practice...
