This book explores how we approached the issue of community development in the context ofcompeting interests and a differential power imbalance. We used a process-based model forsupporting community transformation, a phenomenon in which university-communitypartnership is but one example.The people who most will want to read and use Beyond the Campus are faculty, action-focusedresearchers and executive coaches and consultants seeking to learn how to enhance their relationshipswith community leaders (e.g., principals, executive/program directors, teachers and parents)in urban educational settings.
