An excited and frustrated boy watches hopefully as wintry weather develops slowly into a big snow.
While helping his mother with holiday housecleaning, a boy keeps a watchful eye on the progress of a winter storm. He's hoping for a big snow. A really big snow. Inside, he is underfoot, turning sheet-changing and tub-scrubbing into imaginary whiteouts. Outside, flakes are flying. But over the course of a long day (for Mom) the clouds seem slow on delivering a serious snowfall. Then comes a dreamy naptime adventure, marking just the beginning of high hopes coming true in this irresistible seasonal story.
In this long-awaited updated edition of Race & Liberty in America: The Essential Reader, editor Jonathan Bean draws on timeless and urgent insights from America's most principled anti-racist standard-bearers--and they could not be more relevant for our troubled and polarized time.
In 2009, when Race & Liberty in America: The Essential Reader was originally published, there was a spirit of optimism surrounding race relations. Fifteen years later, a far different spirit prevails: one fraught with tensions, many regrettably familiar and some new.
Which raises the question: What happened? And more importantly: How can we set things right?
With new contributions from Thomas Sowell, Coleman Hughes, Thomas Chatterton Williams, Wilfred Reilly, Kenny Xu, David Bernstein, and Ilya Somin--as well as a plethora of primary source evidence from recent landmark US Supreme Court decisions--Bean champions the values of colorblindness, freedom, and equal constitutional protection for all individuals--regardless of race.
It's a message that couldn't be more timely.
This first collection of writings on race and immigration to document the role of the classical liberal tradition--a tradition rooted in natural law principles of individual rights and liberty--reveals:
From the Declaration of Independence, the antislavery movement, post-Civil War reconstruction, the Progressive Era, the Great Depression and World War II, the civil rights era, George Floyd and Black Lives Matter, all the way up to the present day--each chapter in this new and improved updated edition illuminates how specific time periods in American history grappled with the demands of equality.
Citing such influential Americans as Thomas Jefferson, Louis Marshall, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, and Zora Neale Hurston, plus those missing from other books and heretofore lost to history, Bean shows how classical liberal thought on race relations has helped shape both law and public opinion ... and how it will need to do so again, if America as we know it is to prosper and thrive.
If you're ready to trade the tired and failed left-versus-right politics for timeless principles that actually work and uplift societies, read Race & Liberty in America.
The history of civil rights in the United States is usually analyzed and interpreted through the lenses of modern conservatism and progressive liberalism. In Race and Liberty in America: The Essential Reader, author Jonathan Bean argues that the historical record does not conveniently fit into either of these categories and that knowledge of the American classical liberal tradition is required to gain a more accurate understanding of the past, present, and future of civil liberties in
