Böcker av Katie Day

This is kind of a memoir that uses the author's privileged 'white' middle class perspective and experiences to try and understand 21st Century Homelessness in the United States. She attempts to examine it by describing its current conditions and how they relate to historical exploitation practices, based on the socially constructed concept of racism, as well as analyzing modern day perceptions of poverty... and what, if anything, can be done- Or, 'where do we go from here?' in this post 'Civil Rights' era racial society. www.landofthefreehomeofthehomeless.com

Like an ecosystem, cities develop, change, thrive and adapt through the interaction of myriad components. Religion is one of those living parts, shaping and being shaped by urban contexts. This volume is an outstanding interdisciplinary reference source to the key topics, problems and methodologies in this cutting-edge subject.

In Prelude to Struggle, Katie Day analyzes the findings of a three-year study of the African American churches in North Philadelphia, the most impoverished section of the city. All of these congregations were engaged in significant community economic development projects, yet pursued their common goals through two distinct strategic approaches.
