Normalcy Never Again: Racist-Oppression and Today's Justice Movement - Paperback

by A. Christian Van Gorder (Author), Lewis T. Jr. Tait (Author)

Stock-worn, exhausted, and generalized diatribes against racism litter the American horizon. Instead of reiterating these arguments, the authors of Normalcy Never Again share fresh, constructive, and proactive perspectives in hopes of reinvigorating our nation's ongoing conversation about racist oppression. This book is at times personal and painfully honest, but it is always passionate about telling the truth and forging pathways forward through specific challenges met with Afrocentric solutions. Readers will gain not only a renewed challenge rooted in heuristic insights but also a greater degree of historical insight, intercultural understanding, and sturdy, non-artificial hope.
