Abstract
The purpose of this article is to review the characteristics of the national neighborhood movement. Drawing on admittedly incomplete sources, there is a brief description of several of the ideological currents involved in the movement. There are a number of distinctive problems or dilemmas confronting the movement in addition to its ideological choices. Problems associated with race, external events, scarce resources, free-riding, and the delivery of technical assistance may confront local and national neighborhood associations with frustrating alternatives.
