Cultural Shifting:
Community leadership and change
By Al Condeluci, PhD ~ 2002
This book focuses on change and the impact that it has not only on the local community but upon the larger society in which we live. By examining the culture of a community and specifically how communities integrate or exclude people with disabilities, readers understand the critical elements that contribute to the growth or decline of a community.
The challenges of change for organizations, service providers, individuals and families are explored as the theory of social change is connected to the pragmatics of daily life. Presenting profiles and strategies for leadership, effective strategies for gatekeepers to promote change are given. This book is a clever blend of social theory and practical methods for shifting the culture in communities.
