ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book describes the important contributions of the collection what might be thought of as 'diverse modalities of solidarity and encounter'. It emphasizes some of the tensions of the contemporary conjuncture for diverse articulations of solidarity in place. The book also emphasizes some of the different political skills needed to shape such diverse placed solidarities. It gives a vibrant sense of the practised, embodied articulations of encounters, their relations to the construction of practices of solidarity and how they can reconfigure place-based relations. The book describes the particular ways of envisioning solidarities through faith-based practices shaped by trajectories linked to the civil rights movement are articulated through particular spatial practices; in this instance a strategy of 'intentional neighbouring' with those in poor and deprived neighbourhoods.
