Flavio Francisco Marsiglia, John Michael Daley

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

This paper presents a case study of a neighborhood based coalition formed by two major participants, a neighborhood association formed by white and older neighbors and a school based parents association formed by younger Latino neighbors. Differences in their communication and organizational sales emerged after an external agency brought them together to form a substance abuse prevention coalition. This paper explores emerging themes as two different communities attempt to organize around shared community concerns.Challenges and guidelines for developing multiethnic urban coalitions are also provided.
