Celebrating Urban Community Life: Fairs, Festivals, Parades, and Community Practice

‘This well documented, interesting book makes a valuable contribution to social work, sociology, and anthropology of urban community dynamics…. Highly recommended.’

"This is an enjoyable and interesting book that helps to bridge the gap between the academy and practitioner. It is a significant contribution to the study of community events in urban settings."

Harris Beider, Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations, Coventry University

"Delgado is easily among our most productive scholars. With this book, he brings urban celebrations into community practice as a subject of study and field of practice and, in so doing, provides us with another tool for our toolkit."

Barry Checkoway, School of Social Work, University of Michigan
