"Racism is a mountain in the middle of American society that cannot be ignored. According to Oglesby, it must be climbed. Drawing on sources from Martin Buber to Reinhold Niebuhr, this book combines traditions of Christian ethics with African experience, arguing for a notion of covenant-harambee that is at once faithful to African conceptuality and Christian theology."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
