Called to Reckon - Replacing History and Reclaiming Mission at a Midwestern College

Called to Reckon offers a non-traditional history of Augustana College by centering the narratives of racially and ethnically diverse students and educators often overlooked in the institution's past. The book traces how the college, founded by Swedish Lutherans with a mission to educate for the common good and 'serve the neighbor so that all may flourish,' has been challenged to live up to these values over its -year history.
