Sinopsis

In this challenging, ultimately hopeful book, Nibs Stroupe, the white pastor of multi-cultural Oakhurst Presbyterian Church in Decatur, Georgia, grapples with this question: why, so long after the Civil Rights movement has become part of American history, does racism still pervade society?
Race, writes Stroupe, represents a social and political chasm that continues to divide and entrap all Americans. He steadfastly maintains that acknowledging the power of the system of race throughout society - in our schools, courts, prisons, and housing - is the necessary first step to dismantling it. Stroupe convinces us that although racism is powerful, it is not inexorable. It can be overcome.
Adding her voice is Inez Fleming, a black elder at Oakhurst, who tells the story of tears and laughter within the congregation as blacks and whites struggle together, creating an extraordinary church family.

Rese�a del editor

Stroupe shows how and why race continues to entrap all Americans in its grip. He maintains that acknowledging the power of the race system throughout society--in our schools, courts, prisons and housing--is the necessary first step to dismantling it. Using themes from gospel music, Stroupe convinces readers that they cannot give in or give up.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

The Enigmatic Reader is the unexpected outcome of years of book collecting. After filling up the house to an extreme, (the attic was on the brink of collapse) we decided we had no choice but to share the riches. Luckily about this time the internet became a great place to connect book-buyers with book-sellers. We have really enjoyed the opportunity to connect people with the books they are looking for. Let us know your interests and we will try to find a book to match them. If you find a book on our list that you really want but you can't afford it, let us know - maybe we can work something out. Our descriptions are not too detailed, but we do try to describe the basics and point out any major flaws.
