Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Community Organizing: Canadian Experiences is the first attempt to trace four decades of community organizing in Canada. It recounts the history of community organizing in Quebec and Anglophone Canada: describes community programs such as the Company of Young Canadians, Opportunities for Youth, and the Local Initiatives Program, considers the First Nations, feminist, environmental, and antipoverty movements as examples of development and
change; looks at who participates in community development activities; and determines what lessons and legacies have resulted from the varied experiences, such as whether these activities had any influence on the distribution of power, governing structure, and societal norms.
Long description:
Community Organizing: Canadian Experiences tells the story of community development in Canada, with the objective of determining lasting legacies and extracting lessons from the varied experiences.
This edited volume has a number of objectives. First, it traces the beginnings of community organizing in Quebec and Anglophone Canada. Second, the book tells the stories of some of the significant initiatives from both community and state during the 'heydey' years - initiatives such as The Company of Young Canadians, Opportunities for Youth, and the Local Improvement Program. Third, it describes some current initiatives like feminist organizing and the environmental
movement, in an era of diminished and ever-decreasing resources. Fourth, the book attempts the ambitious tasks of identifying who participates in community organizing activities and analyses the early 'heyday' and current experiences in community organizing in order to extract lessons and identify legacies.
