Tupelo: The Evolution of a Community

By Vaughn L. Grisham Jr.

Grisham, a professor at the University of Mississippi and a volunteer with community development projects, engages in a dialogue about community revitalization and argues that community development is often a vital component in economic development.

The book offers a "model," Tupelo, Mississippi, as a concrete example of the power of community and community development to improve the quality of life.
