If so, does this mean that charitable giving in the United States is also in decline? In this innovative and original work, Emily Barman offers new insights into this important issue. Analyzing workplace charity in different cities across the United States, \u003ci\u003eContesting Communities\u003c\/i\u003e shows that while traditional notions of community might be in decline, new types and visions of community have emerged. Barman traces how these different \"communities\" take the form of organizational competition between the United Way and new alternative fundraisers over workplace contributions. Deftly blending sociological theory of organizations with archival research, interviews with nonprofit leaders, and original survey data, \u003ci\u003eContesting Communities\u003c\/i\u003e ultimately shows that the meaning of community occurs almost incidentally to the wishes of those who give and the needs of those who receive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emily Barman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804754497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804754491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.04w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2006 pg. 165","brand":"Emily Barman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926224929023,"sku":"9780804754491","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_22f66b6f-48fc-427c-94a9-8cbcf117d7ab.jpg?v=1681081891","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contesting-communities-emily-barman-9780804754491","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
