Reviews

"Through interrogating current manifestations of racism, sexual violence, and mass incarceration in our soul-sick society, Jean-Charles’s critique . . . re-symbolizes and reinvigorates the book’s enduring purpose––to expose suffering and to urge humanity to answer the sound of conscience.”—From the Foreword by M. Shawn Copeland

“Régine Jean-Charles has written a glorious book that offers a deeply moral vision of how to recover a society sick with racism, sexual violence, and mass incarceration. Jean-Charles weaves together a moving conversation with Martin Luther King that provides a blueprint for how we can deepen our commitment to justice and create a better world.”—Soyica Diggs Colbert, PhD, Interim Dean of Georgetown College
