  • God And Globalization Volume 1

    $190.00

    In the late 20th century, the world has grown increasingly smaller because of advances in technology and the erosion of the nation-state as political paradigm. The process of globalization-with its promises of a common culture, a common currency, and common government-offers a new political model for the world that fosters unity and comminity. At the same time, however, this process threatens to distroy the values, norms, and ideals that particular cultures have wrought and established and to thereby diminish the power of each culture’s unique identity. As globalization occurs, society must decide which values will be narmative and what roles that social institutiions like religion and education will play in slecting and fostering these values.

  • Spirituality Of African American People

    $29.00

    Current interest in Afrocentricity is but one moment in the longstanding post-colonial search by African peoples, both on the continent and in the diaspora., for cultural beacons. Pre-eminent black social ethicist Peter Paris here sharpens and focuses that quest on African “spirituality”–that is, the religious and moral values embodied in African experience and pervading traditional African religious worldviews. From extensive comparative research and personal travel, Paris shows how such values were retained and modified in the diaspora, most notably in African American religious and moral thought and its practice. Traditional understandings of God, ancestral spirits, tribal community, family belonging, reciprocity, personal destiny, and agency have not only survived great cultural upheavals but remarkably even been enriched and enlivened. Paris’ pan-African focus, careful scholarship, and his eye for ultimate values in varying cultural milieus combine here to model comparative cultural analysis and to clarify cultural foundations of black ethical life.

  • Social Teaching Of The Black Churches

    $24.00

    In African American culture, the church is instrumental in establishing and maintaining social order. Professor Paris shows that a study of black church teachings reveals black social ethics. These ethics aren’t “abstract moral principles, but sociopolitical quests for liberation and freedom.”
