Ronald R. Sundstrom is Professor of Philosophy at the University of San Francisco. He is also a member of USF's African American Studies program, teaches for the university's Honors College, and is the Humanities Advisor for the SF Urban Film Festival. His research has focused on the philosophy of race, mixed-race identity and politics, political and social philosophy, justice and ethics in urban policy, and African American and Asian American philosophy. He published several essays and a book in these areas, including The Browning of America and the Evasion of Social Justice.

Just Shelter is a provocative work of applied philosophy that succeeds on two levels simultaneously. First, it offers a timely and compelling intervention into important contemporary debates around justice in social-spatial arrangements. Second, it vindicates the reconstructive and transformative potential of liberal egalitarian theory to redress historically entrenched patterns of racial injustice. It deserves a wide readership inside and outside of the academy.
