A New Weave of Power, People & Politics republished

Just Associates announces the reprinting of A New Weave of Power, People
& Politics: The Action Guide for Advocacy and Citizen Participation by
Lisa VeneKlasen with Valerie Miller. Available from Stylus Publishing,
LLC. ( http://styluspub.com/Books/BookDetail.aspx?productID=138926) and
Practical Action Publishing
( http://developmentbookshop.com/product_info.php?products_id=741)
A New Weave of Power, People & Politics provides a well-tested approach
for building people's citizen participation and collective power that
goes beyond influencing policy and politics to transforming public
decision-making altogether. A New Weave combines concrete and practical
action "steps" with a sound theoretical foundation to help users
understand the process of people-centered politics from planning to
action. Published in 2002 and reprinted in 2007, the guide is unique in
its emphasis on power and constituency-building discussed through the
lens of gender/race/class and based on the concrete experiences of
social change in dozens of countries worldwide.
