The Politics of Volunteering
ISBN: 9780745650036 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Many of us may have participated in grassroots groups, changing the world in small and big ways, from building playgrounds and feeding the homeless, to protesting wars and ending legal segregation. Beyond the obvious fruits of these activities, what are the broader consequences of volunteering for the participants, recipients of aid, and society as a whole? In this engaging new book, Nina Eliasoph encourages readers to reflect on their own experiences in civic associations as an entry point into bigger sociological, political, and philosophical issues, such as class inequality, how...

ISBN: 9780691147093 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Volunteering improves inner character, builds community, cures poverty, and prevents crime. We've all heard this kind of empowerment talk from nonprofit and government-sponsored civic programs. But what do these programs really accomplish? In Making Volunteers, Nina Eliasoph offers an in-depth, humorous, wrenching, and at times uplifting look inside youth and adult civic programs.
