| Publisher Description: A PLACE to Call Home is a story about PLACE, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit team collaborating with cities to design and build mixed-income, transit-oriented developments that feature the arts and affordable living opportunities. The stories collected in this volume narrate the aspirations and tensions of working for social justice in housing. The stories are generated from the work of undergraduate students in a course entitled Leadership for Social Justice (JPST 365) in the Justice and Peace Studies Program at the University of St. Thomas (Minnesota, USA). They describe individual perspectives that together portray a collective story of housing from history to the present and into the future through a housing development in process. Each of the chapters follows a common format: story, theory, and collective action and demonstrates structural change for social justice. We hope you find insights in the stories that inspire your own work for social justice. |
