A Southern Story

History & Biography

“Folks these days explore their ancestry through a DNA sample. Sterling Vinson has done it as a professor and archeologist, discovering his ancestors as they participated in the history of slavery, the Civil War, the KKK, segregation, and civil rights. Vinson then invites the reader into his profound struggles of the soul. Questions of historic sin and guilt. Responsibility for reparation and redemption in this generation. Don’t do DNA in a box. Read this book!”

Neighborhood Church

Church Leadership & Ministry

“This is precisely the book the majority of mainline Protestant churches must read. Most are in a very different neighborhood from their founding and must find a new incarnation to faithfully follow Jesus in this place.”

Pedagogy of the Oppressor

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The publication of this book could not be timelier. . . . Pedagogy of the Oppressor is a direct challenge to the conventional education seminars in so many elite institutions. To transform persons and institutions, according to Gill, students must accompany the poor and marginalized and ‘walk with them’ toward mutual learning and liberation. Delete all those boring PowerPoint presentations and read this book!”

The U.S. Immigration Crisis

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Miguel's introduction on an ethics of place will surely set academia's hair on fire. He then eloquently practices what he preaches by inviting the reader into all those places where migrants are suffering--and dying--and struggling for liberation. When anyone asks me about 'the problem of immigration' now, I will hand them this compelling book. Be Presente!”
