Story
Over the past thirty years, Gregory Boyle has transformed thousands of lives through his work as the founder of Homeboy Industries, the largest gang-intervention program in the world. The program runs on two unwavering principles: (1) Everyone is unshakably good (no exceptions) and (2) we belong to each other (no exceptions). Boyle believes that these two ideas allow all of us to cultivate a new way of seeing. Every community wants to be a safe place, where people are seen, and then are cherished.

“Intentionality is our superpower” and everything in between! Reading this book as an academic who researches rational choice theory made me think of the many times that choices are more circumstantial than rational. I am grateful for the homeboy community today, and I learned that divinity resides in each and every one of us. This book is full of love stories, the universal language of humanity.

The End of Race Politics is the culmination of his years-long search for an answer.
