Description
This is the only chapter entirely devoted to one case-study: racial justice in the United States. From slavery narratives to the preaching of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., this chapter offers some telling examples of persistent white privilege such as the recent Black Lives Matter movement, but also some inspiring visions of reconciliation.
