Abstract
This is the 11th contribution in our occasional series. On this occasion, Rosie Meade, Lecturer in Applied Social Studies at University College, Cork, and member of our Editorial Board, reflects on the importance of Jo Freeman's ‘The Tyranny of Structurelessness’. In each contribution, the author reflects on a ‘classic text’ in the field of community development, which they feel has influenced them or the practice of community development more widely. The text should have been around for some time, we suggest about 25 years, so that its impact can be seen clearly over a long timespan. Readers are invited to submit ideas for contributions to this series: they can either be a single text, which might be typical of the author's canon or perhaps the keynote writings of a particular author; two or three from a genre; or two or three from the work of a particular author. If you would like to contribute, please write or email the Editor: Professor Chris Miller, Faculty of Social Science, Flinders University, GPO Box 2100, Adelaide, South Australia, 5001, Australia. Please check the Journal website www.cdj.oxfordjournals.org for his email address. We hope the series will also generate debate: it is open to our readers to take issue with the reviews we publish – although we ask that any rejoinders be no more than 500 words long. These should also be sent to the Editor [Again check website for email address]
