Why? Because geographic structures and systems create barriers to reconciliation and prevent the flourishing of our communities. <em>Race and Place</em> reveals the profound ways in which these geographic forces and structures sustain the divisions among us. Urban missiologist David Leong, who resides in one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the country, unpacks the systemic challenges that are rarely addressed in the conversation about racial justice. The evening news may deliver story after story that causes us to despair. But Leong envisions a future of belonging and hope in our streets, towns, cities, and churches. A discussion about race needs to go hand in hand with a discussion about place. This book is a welcome addition to a conversation that needs to include both.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Although race has been a focus of public conversation in the U.S., not many people are talking about the way geography has fueled the racial divide and continues to fragment us. David Leong introduces us to the tangled history of race and geography with a keenly theological mind that imagines reconciliation for God's people.</p>--Relevant, Jan-Feb 2017<br><br><p>In drawing connections between race and place, Leong's book is a welcomed addition to the literature surrounding urban ministry and racial reconciliation. <em>Race and Place</em> has the potential to push the conversations surrounding Christian Community Development in fruitful directions. Hopefully, it will encourage readers and practitioners to further explore the theological issues at play in the intersection of race and place.</p>--Andrew T. Draper, Englewood Review of Books, Lent 2017<br><br><p>Leong's <em>Race and Place</em> is a one of the most graceful and optimistic takes on race in the United States in recent memory.</p>--Baptist Standard, November 2, 2016<br>
