Two Recent Books:

Fetterman, D.M., Kaftarian, S., and Wandersman, A. (2014). Empowerment Evaluation: Knowledge and Tools for Self-assessment, Evaluation Capacity Building, and Accountability. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage.This new book celebrates the 21st anniversary of empowerment evaluation with new case examples, practical tools, and a consolidation of the theories driving the approach. Case examples include: a $15 Million Hewlett-Packard Initiative to bridge the digital divide in communities of color, a ten-year empowerment evaluation of a tobacco prevention initiative, and Peruvian women using empowerment evaluation to refine their crafts and sell their goods on the Internet (bypassing the middleman who had previously taken much of their profits).
