Current approaches to social change, which rely on industrial models of production and power to \"solve\" social problems, are not helping. In fact, they are designed to entrench the status quo. In \u003cem\u003eThe Systems Work of Social Change\u003c\/em\u003e, Cynthia Rayner and Fran輟is Bonnici draw on two hundred years of history and a treasure trove of stories of committed social changemakers to uncover principles and practices for social change that radically depart from these approaches. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRather than delivering \"solutions,\" these principles and practices focus on the process of change itself. Through rich storytelling and lucid analysis, Rayner and Bonnici show that connection, context, and power sit at the heart of the change process, ensuring broader agency for people and communities to create social systems that are responsive and representative in a rapidly changing world. Simple yet profound, this book distills a timely set of lessons for practitioners, leaders, scholars, and policymakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cynthia Rayner, Fran輟is Bonnici\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198857454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198857457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.75h x 5.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Cynthia Rayner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44049243930879,"sku":"9780198857457","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c179f44-3d28-4420-a912-df69f4efc9d1.jpg?v=1685000469","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-systems-work-of-social-cynthia-rayner-9780198857457","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
