John A. Powell -- Racing to Justice -- Gables

Start: Dec 12 2012 8:00 pm

SOCIAL STUDIES: Renowned social justice advocate John A. Powell argues that we have not achieved a post-racial society and that there is much work to do to redeem the American promise of inclusive democracy. Culled from a decade of writing about social justice and spirituality, these meditations on race, identity, and social policy provide an outline for laying claim to our shared humanity and a way toward healing ourselves and securing our future. Racing to Justice (Indiana University Press, $32) challenges us to replace attitudes and institutions that promote and perpetuate social suffering with those that foster relationships and a way of being that transcends disconnection and separation.
