Arambala Press Brings Out Its First Book
Arambala Press, Cleveland’s newest press, wishes to announce the September 31, 2007 release of its very first book, Democratizing Cleveland: The Rise and Fall of Community Organizing in Cleveland, Ohio 1975-1985.
Democratizing Cleveland is the result of almost fifteen years of research on a topic that has been missing from local works on Cleveland history: the community organizing movement that put neighborhood concerns and neighborhood voices front and center in the setting of public policies in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Author, Randy Cunningham, interviewed former organizers, neighborhood leaders, allies, critics, friends and foes of a movement whose victories and defeats, accomplishments and failures still impact Cleveland’s neighborhoods.
