Review: "Sociologist George Yancey surveys a range of approaches to racial healing and offers a new model for moving forward. He first analyzes four secular models toward race that have been adopted by Christians (colorblindness, Anglo-conformity, multiculturalism and white responsibility) and shows how each has its own advantages and limitations. Then he offers a new paradigm, the mutual responsibility model, which acknowledges that both majority and minority cultures have their own particular challenges, tendencies and sins to repent of, and that people of different races approach racial reconciliation and justice in differing but complementary ways. Yancey's vision offers hope that people of all races can walk together on a shared path - not as adversaries, but as collaborators and partners."--BOOK JACKET.
