Racing Across the Lines (Third Edition) demonstrates how cross racial friendships can be developed, nurtured and, as a result improve race relations. Speaking candidly to people of all races, Plummer enables her readers to see themselves in the viewpoints of the participants, inviting them into a dialogue about socializing across racial lines--without intimidation or guilt. Written from a Christian perspective, each chapter includes a "Journalogue" with exercises for personal reflection, group dialogue, and spiritual practice. This book will benefit multicultural and multiracial faith, civic and neighborhood communities and those who aspire to be in the future.
