Summary No academic book relates the formal process of bringing community development in the African American community. The focus of this book is to bring a fresh and needed perspective to Black and inner city communities that have suffered from lack of development and investment. The book offers a reasoned and demonstrated approach to the oppressed African American community as a means of self improvement in the hope of achieving self-reliance and independence for a better quality of life.
