Dear White Christians
Jennifer Harvey
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.
In this provocative book Jennifer Harvey argues for a radical shift in 
how justice-committed white Christians think about race. She calls for 
moving away from the reconciliation paradigm that currently dominates 
interracial relations and embracing instead a <i>reparations</i> paradigm.<br><br>Harvey
 presents an insightful historical analysis of the painful fissures that
 emerged among activist Christians toward the end of the Civil Rights 
movement, and she shows the necessity of bringing "white" racial 
identity into clear view in order to counter today's oppressive social 
structures.<br><br>A deeply constructive, hopeful work, <i>Dear White Christians</i>
 will help readers envision new racial possibilities, including concrete
 examples of contemporary reparations initiatives. This book is for any 
who care about the gospel call to justice but feel stuck trying to get 
there, given the ongoing prevalence of deep racial divisions in the 
church and society at large</br></br></br></br>
