- Summary:
- In A Shared Future, Richard L. Wood and Brad R. Fulton draw on a national study of community organizing coalitions and in-depth interviews of key leaders in this field to show how faith-based organizing is working for economic and racial justice-and thereby creatively navigating the competing aspirations of America's universalist and multiculturalist democratic ideals. With a broad view of the entire field and a distinct empirical focus on the PICO National Network, Wood and Fulton illuminate the tensions, struggles, and deep rewards that come with pursuing racial equity.
