Críticas:
"One of the book's major strengths is the author's emphasis on power at every turn in the organizing process, from making decisions about who to involve, to conducting the research necessary to analyze a situation, to uncovering what facts will mobilize the public and keep them engaged. . . . For social group workers and students of group work, the 3rd edition of Roots to Power presents essential elements of grassroots community organizing. Regardless of context, these elements are solidly grounded in practice theory. The book is methodically laid out with plenty of examples, case studies, and exercise to promote reflection, critique, and learning." - Social Work With Groups
