Communities worldwide act on their own initiative, drawing on their own resources of leadership and solidarity, and in spite of poverty, to achieve their own goals. Development practitioners have too often viewed poor communities as helpless and disadvantaged, and have encouraged their dependency. Yet if instead communities are recognized as having social and cultural as well as material assets, and these are what help them to overcome obstacles, then their capacity to negotiate external assistance on their own terms can be strengthened. From the Moroccan villages that secured irrigation infrastructure with the help of returning migrants, to the Egyptian youth leaders who wanted a soccer pitch for their village, and the indigenous women's cooperative in Ecuador that now exports medicinal plants, this book describes case studies of communities that first built on their own assets, before seeking assistance from outside. What are the common factors that help all these communities mobilize? Do outside organizations have a role to play when communities take charge of their own development? From Clients to Citizens is aimed at community workers, researchers and policy makers who want to take a fresh look at community development.

What happens to the field of community development when its practitioners - community members, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), governments - start with the assumption that communities have strengths rather than deficiencies, assets rather than needs, possibilities rather than problems? This forum, From Clients to Citizens: Deepening the Practice of Asset-Based and Citizen-Led Development, brought together people who are attempting to work with communities on that basis. It gave them the opportunity to share experiences, challenge each other, express doubt, unpack words that have been burdened with over use, think through the implications of working differently, and renew their commitment to social change through local community action and broadbased structural and institutional reform. As such, conversation shifted from the particulars of local leadership and community organizing to fundamental questions of rights and responsibilities of citizenship. The conversation sometimes touched on values instilled through different cultures that inspire mutual self help, and sometimes touched on structural changes needed in our institutions to make such mutual self help operate on local, national and international levels. It sometimes looked at how people in communities could participate in the global economy more on their own terms, and sometimes touched on ways that communities could make themselves less vulnerable to market failure and strengthen alternative means of livelihood in the local economy. In short, as well as celebrating success and possibility, forum participants explored the thorny issues emerging with the growing interest in asset-based and citizen-led development around the world.

Finally, a book that offers a practical yet well-researched guide for practitioners seeking to hone the way they show up in citizen space. At a time when public trust in institutions is at its lowest, expectations of those institutions to make people well, knowledgeable, and secure are rapidly increasing. These expectations are unrealistic, causing disenchantment and disengagement among citizens and increasing levels of burnout among many professionals. Rekindling Democracy is not just a practical guide; it goes further in setting out a manifesto for a more equitable social contract to address these issues. Rekindling Democracy argues convincingly that industrialized countries are suffering through a democratic inversion, where the doctor is assumed to be the primary producer of health, the teacher of education, the police officer of safety, and the politician of democracy. Through just the right blend of storytelling, research, and original ideas, Russell argues instead that in a functioning democracy the role of the professionals ought to be defined as that which happens after the important work of citizens is done. The primary role of the twenty-first-century practitioner therefore is not a deliverer of top-down services, but a precipitator of more active citizenship and community building.
