This Book, Breaking With Old Stereotypes And The Strategies They Spawned, Proposes An Alternative Paradigm For Development Projects In Appalachian Communitiesone That Is Far More Inclusive And Democratic Than Previous Models.Emerging From A Critical Analysis Of The Modern Development Process, The Participatory Development Approach Advocated In This Book Assumes That Local Culture Has Value, That Local Communities Have Assets, And That Local People Have The Capacity To Envision And Provide Leadership For Their Own Social Change.
