Community Gardening As Social Action (Transforming Environmental Politics And Policy)

Drawing on case studies and social movement theory Claire Nettle provides a new empirical and theoretical understanding of community gardening by applying a contextual framework that considers the activity as a way for people to engage in collective social action. Through this a richer, more complete understanding of community gardening as a form of social activity and of its potential contributions to activism, community, democracy and culture can be reached.
