Beskrivning
The Baha’i Faith and African American Studies: Perspectives on Racial Justice provides readers who may already have basic or even advanced familiarity with the struggle for racial justice in the United States with new material from a less well-known angle: that of members of the Baha’i Faith, for whom the pursuit of racial justice, healing, and harmony are central to their religious expression. Inside these pages, readers will find history, social scientific analysis, and personal memoir showcasing Black Baha’is as well as Baha’is from diverse backgrounds who are working to address America’s “most challenging issue.”

Recensioner i media

This inter-disciplinary, genre-bending collection offers an indispensable introduction to the Bahá’í Faith and its multi-varied approaches to racial justice and African American Studies. Spanning the course of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, this volume’s contributors have situated Bahá'í community action within the heart of the Black freedom struggle—from the Civil Rights Movement to the Movement for Black Lives. For those currently grappling with the age-old question of “what is to be done?” this volume examines a series of possibilities from a religious community committed to doing what it can in a world that desperately needs to transform.
