Dry Bones Rattling : Community Building to Revitalize American Democracy (Princeton Studies in American Politics)

Rating:
Summary: Capturing the story
Review: Most books from the Ivory Tower about community organizers tend to leave out the human side of things. Instead, Warren makes such efforts come alive on a human level. Not only does he capture the challenges the group faces, he captures the story. He lets the organizers speak directly to the reader. As more and more of the nation's big cities become "majority minority," we will need books like this one that address head-on thorny issues of cross-racial cooperation. Bottom line: it's a very entertaining read.
