Tribe

"The deeply personal framework of Tribe, combined with Sandra Mayes Unger's ironic wit and self-effacing humor, make this one of the most informative, enjoyable, poignant, convicting, and humor-filled books on racism and classism you're likely to ever read! If the racial and socio-economic divide in our country and within the American church bothers you (and it should), I strongly recommend you read this powerful book!" --Greg Boyd, senior pastor, Woodland Hills Church (St. Paul, MN), author of Inspired Imperfection: How the Bible's Problems Enhance Its Divine Authority "In this carefully crafted book, Sandra Mayes Unger uncovers the major obstacles to building bridges of human relationships 'between tribes' and offers strategies to overcome those obstacles. Tribe should particularly appeal to theologians, educators, leaders, sociologists, and those who wish to embrace our global kinship in Christ." --Jean-Pierre Bongila, University of St. Thomas "In her book Tribe, Sandra Mayes Unger brings into alignment a series of all-too-rare juxtapositions--practical insight informed by academic rigor, personal experience grounded in authentic relationships, and--most importantly--a living example of flourishing human community arising from the very differences that, so often, threaten the very possibility of community itself. This is a remarkable book that offers hope, inspiration, and wisdom for all who seek to walk in the ways of love and justice." --Paul Rhodes Eddy, Bethel University
