Building Communities from the Inside Out: A Path Toward Finding and Mobilizing a Community's Assets by John P. Kretzmann

goldandsalt's review against another edition

3.0

My takeaway: start with asset inventories over needs/deficiencies inventories. It's a great concept, quite feminist (without ever being acknowledged as such) but the first edition copy I got from the library is horrendously outdated. It's a practical guide that was written more or less before the internet. I imagine it would be a pretty different book if rewritten today.
