ETHICS AND INTERSECTIONALITY SERIES
“I strongly encourage organizers and scholars of organizing to pick up this book and read it thoroughly, engage it, talk about it with a colleague, and use it to challenge and rethink and reframe your own experience.”
–Ernesto J. Cortés, Jr., national co-director emeritus, Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF)
While coming from varied backgrounds and experience, collectively the contributors to Organizing Visions offer a vital overview of the current state of Christian social ethics and its rich relation to organizing movements. Organising Visions makes the case that Christian social ethics emerged out of and in conversation with major social movements in U.S. history and is defined today by a commitment to studying these movements to grasp where they may be going.
