Community Power Structure: A Study of Decision Makers

Floyd Hunter

4.9/5 (34687 ratings)

Description:In this study of an actual complex regional city the author has analyzed the power structure from top to bottom. He's searched out those in power &, under fictitious names, has described them as they initiate policies in their offices, their homes, their clubs. They form a small, stable group at the top of the social structure. Their decision-making activities aren't known to the public, but they're responsible for whatever is done, or not done, in their community. Beneath this top policy group is a clearly marked social stratification, thru which decisions sift down to the substructures chosen to put them into effect. The dynamic relations within the power structure are made clear in charts, but the real interest lies in the author's report of what people themselves say. The African American community is also studied, with its own power structure & complicated relations with the larger community. The method of study is fully described in an Appendix. The book should be of value to sociologists, political scientists, city-planning executives, Community Council members, social workers, teachers & research workers in related fields. As a vigorous & readable presentation of facts, it should appeal to the reader who'd like to know how his/her own community is run. Community Power Structure isn't an expose. It's a description & discussion of a social phenomenon as it occured. It is based on sound field research, including personal observation & interviews by the author.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
