Normalcy Never Again

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In their important book, Van Gorder and Tait stress that racist oppression, like all other forms of evil, is fundamentally an assault against human dignity and an affront to all with open and humane hearts. The painful experience of the African slave trade, far from being a buried past, is a crime in search of a just and equitable resolution, its wounds ever so fresh. As such it is part of that growing catalogue of great crimes that stretches from the genocide of the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire to the killing fields of Cambodia, from Auschwitz to Rwanda to Bosnia. Written in an engaging style, the central message of the book is a resolute and inspiring manifesto for solidarity, for justice, and for human rights.”
