Building Community: Answering Kennedy's Call (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781950444410)

Building Community Answering Kennedy's Call, Harlan Green's memoir of his years working to build successful communities at home and abroad, shows what is possible when communities come together to improve their lives. He describes his work as a Peace Corps Volunteer in a rural community development program in a Turkish village, as a photographer and filmmaker for the US Environmental Protection Agency in its earliest days enforcing the Clean Air and Water Acts, and with Cesar Chavez and the United Farmworkers of America Union during its mid-1970s struggle organizing seasonal farm workers to better their living conditions. He then brings what he has learned building communities to his own community where he leads a successful planning effort that results in the formation of a new city safe for children as well as adults.
