Definition(s)

  • Some years ago, the sociologist Roland Warren wrote a highly praised and definitive book on the community in America. While his principal thesis was describing the changing characteristics of American communities in the 1960s as a consequence of the federal government's then increasing role in community affairs and programs, he also spent considerable time describing the many different definitions of the term community from historical, social, philosophical, and geographical perspectives.
