It is vital that we decolonise community education and development - learning from the past in order to challenge current discrimination and oppression more effectively. In this book, Marjorie Mayo identifies ways of developing more inclusive policies and practices, working towards social justice for the future. She also tackles the pervasive influence of the 'culture wars' undermining work in communities, including the denial of problematic colonial legacies. Inspired by movements such as Black Lives Matter and labour solidarity, the book includes case studies from the US, UK and the Global South, outlining the lessons that can be applied to community education and development training and practice.

This volume explores the challenges as well as the opportunities for radical progress in the post-war period, with the election of the Attlee Labour government. Although much remained to be achieved by 1960, the T&G had become a more democratic, powerful, progressive force by the end of this period.

Communities and Caring explores the theoretical background of social policy debates around the mixed economy of welfare in relation to community participation and community development. without such underlying public sector support, community participation will be unable to meet community needs.
