Description: Nearly seven years of work to promote civic engagement in high poverty counties has led to rich insights into where and how this work thrives. A team of researchers from across the South joined hands to synthesize the new understandings gleaned from these efforts. The results are now published in a special issue of the Journal of the Community Development Society, published in July 2016. Articles in the Journal include:
