Working with People in Small Communities; Case records of community development in different countries /

This publication specifically deals with workers concerned with training for a community development. The book provides ten brief and simple case records, representing ten countries—Egypt, Greece, India, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, Thai land, and the United States. The records are based upon published and unpublished documents. Among the individual authors are Glen Leet and Mohamed Shalaby, formerly of the United Nations staff; Willia and Charlotte Wiser, authors of Behind Mud Walls, the classic description of an Indian village, thirty years ago; and E. R. Chadwick, a veteran British community development worked.
The records themselves vary considerably in teaching and learning value. To this reviewer, Amagu (Nigeria), Suh Kamchon Ri (Korea), El Manayel (Egypt), and Demestica (Greece) seem among the best. Probably a more representative record than Colton could have been found for community development in the United States—perhaps one of the narratives of Jess and Jean Ogden. Karimpur (India) is primarily descriptive, whereas a case record usually implies the "movement" of a narrative.
