Reviews
For the Sake of Peace takes the voices of established and emerging black scholars from across the global African Diaspora and places them front and center in critically examining racism in the U.S. in the early 21st century. The collection of essays, thoughtfully assembled and curated by Charles Chavis, builds on a wealth of historical scholarship and searing set of contemporary observations of being black in America and the tried and new ways of 'demanding peace.'
