The latest Special Issue of the Community Development Journal is entitled, ‘The Politics of Everyday Life:   Feminisms and Contemporary Community Development’.

This Issue was inspired by the call from Elizabeth Wilson more than thirty years ago to ‘inject some feminism into the community work scene’.  Wilson argued that community development workers, so focused on political struggles in the workplace or in state structures, ignored the fight for gender equality and social justice in the home and in the community. The editors wanted to revisit her critiques about the political orientation of community development in order to assess the state of contemporary feminist community development around the globe.

Highlights from the issue include:- The politics of everyday life: feminisms and contemporary community development: Akwugo Emejulu and Audrey Bronstein.
