A groundbreaking exploration into the unique and influential approach of a predominantly white faith-based group, the Quaker-aligned American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), in fostering greater acceptance of residential integration in the United States.
Tracy K. Meyer's To Live Peaceably Together offers a fresh perspective on the complex dynamics of race and housing in the postwar era. Through vivid narratives of AFSC activists and the challenges they faced in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Richmond, California, the book provides an engaging and timely account of how the organization aligned itself with a cause that required continuous learning, reassessment, and self-critique.
K. Meyer delves into the spiritual and humanist motivations behind the AFSC, exploring how its members shifted strategies as they gained a deeper understanding of structural inequality. The book also sheds light on how these strategies were eventually embraced by a diverse range of other groups, contributing to the broader movement for social justice.
In addition to its insightful analysis, To Live Peaceably Together offers a valuable cultural perspective on the last seventy years of racial activism. Meyer's fine-grained investigation of the cultural ramifications of housing struggles provides a fresh lens through which to understand the ongoing struggles and triumphs of the African American community.
Overall, Tracy K. Meyer's To Live Peaceably Together is a groundbreaking work that sheds new light on the complex history of race and housing in the United States. It is a must-read for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in understanding the ongoing challenges and opportunities for social change.
