274 pages 21 cm, \"The communities of Oakwood and Middlesex are in transition with incoming students changing the complexion of the local high school. When Andrew Young and his brother Michael move into the house across the street from Carrie Mae Benson, things take a turn for the worse. That’s when Carrie Mae decides to push back. With the help of a dynamic social studies teacher, she mentors high school students as they facilitate transformation and healing for their dysfunctional community. The cost of victory, however, is extraordinarily high. At first glance, The Agape Alternative appears to be about gun violence. As you dig deeper, you discover other hidden treasures: relationship building, problem solving, and mending that which is broken in our communities and schools. As an educational resource, The Agape Alternative is guaranteed to stimulate your thinking about a number of themes: Agape Love, Community Transformation, Perspective Transformation, School Change, Black history, Critical Consciousness, and Action Research. The Agape Alternative is a \"must-read\" for those concerned about change and its impact on the next generation.\" -- Amazon.com, Cover art from DepositPhotos, \"The communities of Oakwood and Middlesex are in transition with incoming students changing the complexion of the local high school.
