Community economic development (CED) is an increasingly essential factor in the revitalization of low- to moderate-income communities. This cutting-edge text explores the intersection of CED and social work practice, which both focus on the well-being of indigent communities and the empowerment of individuals and the communities in which they live. This unique textbook emphasizes a holistic approach to community building that combines business and real-estate development with a focus on stimulating family self-reliance and community empowerment. The result is an innovative approach to rehabilitating communities in decline while preserving resident demographics. The authors delve deep into the social, political, human, and financial capital involved in effecting change and how race and regional issues can complicate approaches and outcomes. Throughout, they integrate case examples to illustrate their strategies and conclude with a consideration of the critical role social workers can play in developing CEDÕs next phase.
Un écrivain, Ego Sum, se deman,de pourquoi il ne parvient pas à enquêter sur le sujet qu'il a lui-même choisi : l'histoire vraie d'un pédophile et de ses jeunes victimes (un fait divers). Un enfant du nom de Posthume se penche alors par-dessus son épaule et tente de lui venir en aide. Le dialogue dure longtemps: sept ans. Et l'éditeur attend. Tous les acteurs du jeu littéraire, en tout cas, sont là. A commencer par les ancêtres qui, de Socrate à Nabokov, se sont interrogés sur ce que c'est que l'enfance. Il y a aussi quelques contemporains, et des chanteurs pour faire bonne mesure. Leurs citations étayent le fil tendu de la réflexion. Laquelle pourrait se résumer à cette question: qu'est-ce qu'on tue exactement quand on tue un enfant., Tour à tour murmure, confession, interrogation, interpellation, suspense, le texte coule vers sa conclusion logique: les faits, pour être divers, n'en sont pas moins têtus. Avec ou sans le consentement de l'auteur. Et pour peu qu'on sache écouter la parole des enfants. On l'aura compris, il s'agit d'une dépossession. Cathy Bernheim, à son habitude, nous offre un texte " décalé ", subtil et sensible, entre jeu et je. Un texte qu vise haut, qui évoque la douleur secrète et indicible de l'enfant trahi.

As scholarly as [it] is . . . this book about education happens to double as an optimistic, even thrilling, summer read." —The New York Times A brilliant combination of science and its real-world application, Now You See It sheds light on one of the greatest problems of our historical moment: our schools and businesses are designed for the last century, not for a world in which technology has reshaped the way we think and learn. In this informed and optimistic work, Cathy N. Davidson takes us on a tour of the future of work and education, introducing us to visionaries whose groundbreaking ideas will soon affect every arena of our lives, from schools with curriculums built around video games to workplaces that use virtual environments to train employees.
