Is colorblindness really the answer to America's racial divide? In this thought-provoking volume, Anthony B. Pinn challenges the conventional wisdom and makes a compelling case for why humanism must embrace racial justice. He argues that a truly humanist approach requires acknowledging and addressing the complexities of race, rather than ignoring them.
Pinn urges humanists to move beyond the question of why racial minorities remain committed to religious traditions and instead confront a more pressing issue: Why has humanism failed to offer a more compelling alternative? Through insightful analysis and historical context, Pinn provides a framework for understanding white privilege, challenging social constructs, and promoting meaningful engagement with race. This book is for humanists, social justice advocates, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of race relations in America.

Paperback. Condition: New. The future of the United States rests in many ways on how the ongoing challenge of racial injustice in the country is addressed. Yet, humanists remain divided over what if any agenda should guide humanist thought and action toward questions of race. In this volume, Anthony B. Pinn makes a clear case for why humanism should embrace racial justice as part of its commitment to the well-being of life in general and human flourishing in particular. As a first step, humanists should stop asking why so many racial minorities remain committed to religious traditions that have destroyed lives, perverted justice, and justified racial discrimination. Rather, Pinn argues, humanists must first confront a more pertinent and pressing question: why has humanism failed to provide a more compelling alternative to theism for so many minority groups? For only with a bit of humility and perspective-and a recognition of the various ways in which we each contribute to racial injustice-can we truly fight for justice.
