"A pioneering contribution to the literature on community-based development in the context of Latin American, neoliberal, market-driven economics and political liberalization. This work goes far beyond description in its nuanced treatment of the role of community, participation, empowerment, decentralization, and social movements in the quest for an equitable social transformation. Essential reading for scholars and activists."—Kari Levitte, McGill University
"The single best text available today that synthesizes critical theory and empirical case studies, confronting the dominant neoliberal paradigm.... An excellent text for development studies courses, as well as a must book for scholars, policymakers, and activists."—James Petras, Binghamton University
