Virtues and Values: The African and African American Experience (Facets)

by Peter J. Paris

Facets

Description

Drawing on African and African American religious traditions, this incisive work examines how inherited spiritual perspectives have shaped moral life, communal identity, and conceptions of human flourishing. Through a focused exploration of six central virtues, it traces the relationship between African worldviews and African American approaches to ethics, public responsibility, and meaningful living. Thoughtful and accessible, the book offers a compelling account of spirituality as a source of resilience, dignity, and collective moral insight.
