A LIBRARIAN’S ORIENTATION
What this book explores
Examines Black nonbelief through its histories, principles, community practices, and ways of making meaning.
EDITORIAL NOTE
Why it’s in the Library
It restores Black nonbelief, practice, and community to a shelf easily dominated by white secular narratives.
Good starting place if…
You want a view of humanism attentive to race, culture, and community rather than an abstract debate about God.
Know before you begin…
Pinn makes a provocative argument about Black humanism and religion; describe it as his argument, not a settled definition all humanists share.
