    Come home Charley Patton is a moving and an imaginative memoir documenting the Civil Rights Era and contemporary southern culture. Intricately layered and deeply arresting, Ralph Lemon's research on the African American experience intertwines personal anecdotes and family remembrances with diaristic accounts of the making of a dance, as Lemon journeys the mythic roads of migration—visiting the sites of lynchings, following the paths of Civil Rights marches, and meeting the descendants of early blues musicians. Come home Charley Patton is a rich, transcendent text, and a historically-charged meditation on memory in America. It is a formidable finale for the Geography trilogy (including Geography and Tree), three books connected thematically by racial identity and the related dance projects choreographed by Lemon. Generously illustrated with family photos, original art, and photos of the performance, the book will take its place in the canon of great African American writing.

    Urban policy and governance are central to shaping the future of cities worldwide. As urban areas continue to expand, the challenges faced by city leaders, policymakers, and residents grow ever more complex. Urban policy refers to the strategies, frameworks, and regulations that guide the development and management of cities. It encompasses everything from housing and infrastructure to social equity, environmental sustainability, and economic growth. Governance, on the other hand, focuses on the decision-making processes, institutions, and actors responsible for implementing these policies. Effective urban governance ensures that cities function smoothly and equitably while addressing the diverse needs of their populations. 
The rapid pace of urbanization has been a defining feature of the 21st century, with over half of the world's population now living in cities. This urban shift presents numerous challenges, including overcrowding, resource scarcity, environmental degradation, and social inequality. However, it also creates opportunities for innovation and progress. A well-crafted urban policy can harness the potential of urbanization to improve quality of life, create economic opportunities, and foster sustainability. 
Urban governance is shaped by various factors, including political, economic, and social dynamics. At its core, it involves coordinating efforts among multiple stakeholders, such as local governments, private sector entities, civil society groups, and international organizations. The collaboration between these actors is crucial to addressing the complex and interconnected issues that cities face. Effective governance must be inclusive, transparent, and accountable to ensure that all voices, particularly those of marginalized communities, are heard and considered in decision-making processes.
