Drawing on the rich stories of persons and communities shaped by the unique perspective of the borderland, Gill finds in those stories the seeds of a truly American theology of liberation."" --Roberto S. Goizueta, professor of Theology at Boston College, author of Caminemos con Jesus ""A fresh perspective . . . placing the reality of so many in our world today with 'border-crossing' at the heart of its analysis . . . A book that calls US Christians to conversion and offers the theological tools needed to look at the reality of borders and border-crossing as a call to work for justice at the beginning of the twenty-first century."" --Ada Mara Isasi-Diaz, professor of Ethics and Theology at Drew University"
