Consensus Organizing: A Community Development Workbook, is a very detailed, step by step guide on how to do consensus organizing. Here is the good and the bad news.
Bad news–This book is written for an academic audience; therefore, it’s not the easiest read, it has a lot of citations, and many things are repeated over and over again throughout the book.
Good news–If you really want to learn how to do consensus organizing, this book is for you. They offer numerous details and they even give you helpful reports that could be used in the field.
My recommendation– First read Eichler’s book on this subject. It’s more causal and easier to digest. If after reading Eichler’s book, you feel that you want to pursue consensus organizing, then purchase this workbook.
