The Handbook of Critical Perspectives on Nonprofit Organizing and Voluntary Action illustrates opportunities and challenges for future researchers within the sector and presses the reader to imagine a better, more equitable future. Chapters employ a variety of vital theoretical lenses, for example utilizing postcolonial theory, critical feminist theory, queer theory, critical disability theory and post-structural theory. They provide a timely, inter-contextual narration of the many roles enacted by nonprofit and voluntary organizations today.
Approaching nonprofit organizing as an ever-expanding topic, this crucial Handbook will be an important read for scholars of critical management studies, public administration, and public policy. It will additionally benefit researchers within the philanthropic studies field hoping to gain insight into the future of their discipline.
Industry Reviews
'The evidence base on nonprofits is dominated by managerialist and functionalist perspectives. This Handbook goes a considerable way to redress this. Building a global collection of contributions the editors have compiled a book which, as a whole, illuminates the social structures leading to oppression, highlights the ways in which these structures shape nonprofit behaviour, and more optimistically, offers alternative pathways towards social change. It has pride of place in my essential reading list.' -- Simon Teasdale, Queen's University Belfast, UK
'The interdisciplinary field creatively identified as "nonprofit organizing and voluntary action" by the three leading scholars who have co-edited this welcome and substantial Handbook, has passed through founding stages focused on interpretive and positivist research. The time has now come, its more than forty contributing authors assert and demonstrate, to deepen such scholarship by developing critical guidance for researchers, students, and readers devoted to creating the civic sector anew.' -- Jon Van Til, Rutgers University, US
