Community Networks: Lessons From Blacksburg, Virginia

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Stories exploring life in `America`s most wired town`, Blacksburg, Virginia, have appeared in major publications internationally. Articles in Esquire, USA Weekend, and Reader`s Digest have captured the public`s interest, and now there`s a revealing inside look at the five-year evolution of the Blacksburg Electronic Village -- the ground-breaking venture that has linked the citizens of Blacksburg, Virginia to each other and to the rest of the world, based on 100% Internet technology. The book explains exactly how the Blacksburg Community Network has developed, from its original concept in 1991 to how it is managed today. It addresses the social, economic, technical, and educational impact of living in a `connected town,` based on community-widesurveys, focus groups, and data logging efforts. It shows the services currently offered and how they are used by community members, and discusses what has and hasn`t worked -- and why. In addition, the book describes the essential… [detailed...]

Community Organizations: Studies in Resource Mobilization and Exchange (Yale Studies on Nonprofit Organizations)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Local nonprofit organizations are often small, loosely structured, and democratically governed, and therefore do not fit conveniently into traditional theories of organizational behavior that are rooted in administrative science and bureaucratic structure. Treating community organizations as parts of larger systems--organizational fields or ecologies and communities--this collection of papers presents various perspectives on local nonprofit organizations from the standpoint of organizational theory. Theessays draw on an array of methods and theoretical approaches taken from population ecology theories of organizations, laying the foundation for the structural analysis of community organizations.

Community Service and Higher Learning: Explorations of the Caring Self

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In Community Service and Higher Learning, Robert A. Rhoads examines the experiences of students as they commit themselves to community service during their college years. The author explores how a student`s sense of self may be challenged through involvement in the lives of others within the context of community service relationships. Central to his `explorations of the self` is the role `caring` plays as a source of self understanding and identity development. Drawing upon classic symbolic interactionists such as George Herbert Mead as well as contemporary feminists such as Carol Gilligan and Nel Noddings, Rhoads suggests ways in which the self might be reconsidered with an ethic-of-care philosophy at its core. He argues that higher education oughtto play a key role in fostering more relational and caring individuals and that community service offers a pedagogical opportunity for encouraging the development of more caring selves. He maintains that as society becomes increasingly… [detailed...]

Community Service and Social Responsibility in Youth

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: James Youniss and Miranda Yates present a sophisticated analysis of community service`s beneficial effects on adolescents` political and moral identity. Using a case study from a predominantly Black, urban high school in Washington, D.C., Youniss and Yates build on the insights of Erik Erikson on the social and historical nature of identity development. They show that service at a soup kitchen as part of a course on social justice gives youth the opportunity to reflect on their status in society, on how society is organized, on how government should use its power, and on moral principles related to homelessness and poverty. Developing a sense of social responsibility and a civic commitment, youth come to see themselves as active agents in society. The most authoritative work to date on the subject, this book challenges negative stereotypes of contemporary adolescents and illustrates how youth, when given the opportunity, can use their talents for social good. It… [detailed...]

It provides a previously unexplored perspective on the role of commercialized production and trade in a regional economy in the premodern era and demonstrates that trade was able to drive change in a premodern economy in a way that has not generally been recognized.

Ashwani Kumar
Community Warriors: State, Peasants and Caste Armies in Bihar

2009 y.
Publisher: Anthem Press
Description: This book dissects the politicization of caste massacres and provides a provocative portrayal of the private caste armies operant in so-called `barbaric-Bihar`. Mediating between predatory politicians and radical Maoists, Kumar argues that these caste armies act as both a surrogate arm of the state and a violent defender of their community’s self-perceived purity. His focus on vicious agrarian conflicts and the increasing powerlessness to deal with these conflicts challenges transcendental notions of the state’s autonomy and the legitimacy. `Community Warriors` is anchored in historically and politically constructed notions of identity, power and ethnic allegiance. The book’s lucid narrative style facilitates a seamless passage through the sociocultural history of post-independence Bihar and unravels the disturbing aspects of the march of democracy in this much feared and also promising `heart of India`. Kumar addresses the issues of the process of democratization, ethnic… [detailed...]

Community and Money: Men and Women Making Change

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: At the beginning of the 21st century, the three most important concerns in the developed nations are remarkably convergent?unemployment, the environment, and community breakdown?and there are strong indications that these same issues will remain on top of the agenda well into the next century. Emerging technologies promise to keep unemployment a major issue, even if all Western economies get out of recession. By 2010, China will introduce as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as the entire world does today. And community breakdown is one of the most systemic, deep, and complex societal trends of the past 30 years, with no signs of any reversal. Precisely because we will have to live with these issues for the foreseeable future, only a long-term structural approach can successfully resolve these problems. Community and Money is about how community currencies could contribute to tackling all three problems. Local currencies are springing up all… [detailed...]

Community, Culture, and Economic Development: The Social Roots of Local Action (Suny Series, Democracy in American Politics)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: A comparative study of economic development policy, and its relationship with local power structures and cultural and social relations, in two Maryland towns that have rejected development. This book questions the conventional wisdom in studies of local economic development that communities will invariably pursue outside investment as a way of increasing land values and creating jobs and opportunities. Meredith Ramsay demonstrates how two towns in Maryland`s poorest county have routinely rejected economic development, and in a further challenge to the dominant paradigm, she shows that these rejections were `rational`: Opposition to economic development was a reasonable means of protecting and achieving community values. Contrary to the market paradigm, Ramsay shows how the goals of economic policy are ultimately derived from cultural values and ways of life. By showing how the insights of cultural studies can be integrated with political economy, this book reveals the contextual… [detailed...]

Community-Driven Regulation: Balancing Development and the Environment in Vietnam (Urban and Industrial Environments)

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn Community-Driven Regulation Dara O’Rourke proposes a new policy model for pollution control, based on detailed case studies from rapidly industrializing Vietnam. He shows that environmental problems can be solved when affected community groups mobilize to pressure both state and industry and argues that this strategy, which he terms `community-driven regulation,` used successfully in Vietnam, can achieve similar success in other countries. Vietnam’s recent entry into the world economy has brought many benefits to its population--more jobs, higher income levels, more plentiful goods and services. But this very rapid growth of industry has also brought predictable environmental problems. Areas near industrial plants experience declining crop yields and polluted groundwater, residents downwind from factories suffer respiratory ailments. Vietnam thus serves as a model for nations dealing with environmental problems during the transition… [detailed...]

Commutative Algebras of Toeplitz Operators on the Bergman Space (Operator Theory: Advances and Applications)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book is devoted to the spectral theory of commutative C*-algebras of Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space and its applications. For each such commutative algebra there is a unitary operator which reduces Toeplitz operators from this algebra to certain multiplication operators, thus providing their spectral type representations. This yields a powerful research tool giving direct access to the majority of the important properties of the Toeplitz operators studied herein, such as boundedness, compactness, spectral properties, invariant subspaces. The presence and exploitation of these spectral type representations forms the core for many results presented in the book. Among other results it contains a criterion of when the algebras are commutative on each commonly considered weighted Bergman space together with their explicit descriptions, a systematic study of Toeplitz operators with unbounded symbols, a clarification of the difference between compactness of commutators and… [detailed...]
