As Anthony Pinn argues in his latest collection, humanism comes in
many colors. When more attention is given to issues of race as
connected to other forms of oppression, it is easier to see the
manner in which humanism has lived and functioned within African
American communities. Using the biblical figure Nimrod as symbol,
"African American Humanist Principles "demonstrates African
American humanists' intellectual and praxis-related grounding in a
history of rebellion against over-determined and oppressive
limitations on human doing and being. Pinn maintains that it is
this quest for a fuller sense of being -- for greater existential
and ontological worth -- that informs the basic principles of
African American humanism. "African American Humanist Principles"
is one of the only books to present the inner workings of humanist
principles as the foundation for humanism from the African American
perspective -- its form and content, nature and meaning.
