Our Trespasses

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Urban Renewal--the massive 1960s program of displacement and demolition in US cities--provokes the agonized question "What were they thinking?" By focusing on the actions of churches and their members, this thoughtful book documents the workings of power, both economic and cultural. Greg Jarrell has crafted a "people story" that illuminates the humanity behind public policy decisions.”
