From the Book: |
|
"Any understanding of
Sarvodaya is incomplete if it does not sufficiently recognize the
resources that our Movement has drawn from the spiritual and
cultural traditions of our people. That is why I am happy that Dr.
Joanna Macy has written this book, for it shows these resources
quite clearly together with the central role they play in our theory
and practice."
Dr. A. T. Ariyaratne
Founder of Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement, Sri Lanka |
|
"An inspiring study of
the Sarvodaya movement in Sri Lanka, built on the successful
integration of spiritual values, community organization and
self-reliance. Individuals, families, groups and towns are all
empowered through this movement. We are hungry for such
possibilities in the West."
Judge on the New Options Political Book Award Panel
New Options, No. 9, September 24, 1984 |
"This book is a fine combination of the
reflective and the practical and can be thought of as an economic
development manual in the best sense of the word."
