It is used to explain diverse relations between contexts, institutions, structures, community organizations, and groups, and the diverse relationships between organizational representatives and community members.\u003cbr\u003e It is these dances with difference through which groups and individuals deal with contextual forces, negotiate cultural identities, subjectivities, and positioning, and orient themselves toward their work.\u003cbr\u003e Featuring case studies of several international, national, and local organizations, the book showcases both first-hand and public discourses related to community engagement work from Nepal and Northern Ireland to Kenya, Zimbabwe, and the U.S.\u003cbr\u003e A framework of critical\/interpretive intercultural praxis is offered to guide research and practice across the case studies. It is designed to benefit scholars, students, and practitioners who work in community-based settings by presenting a relevant and applicable guide for entering into community engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47026023071984,"sku":"9781433120336","price":64.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781433120336_p0.jpg?v=1763751932","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781433120336","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
