A Word & Way 2022 Book of the Year Sojourners' 2022 Book
Roundup to Inspire Faith and Justice "Extraordinary. . . . Let this
story of family, race, and resistance create anger in your spirit
and ultimately inspire your heart to join the work to heal our
nation and eventually our world."--Otis Moss III (from the
foreword) Drawing on her lifelong journey to know her family's
history, leading Christian activist Lisa Sharon Harper recovers the
beauty of her heritage, exposes the brokenness that race has
wrought in America, and casts a vision for collective repair.
Harper has spent three decades researching ten generations of her
family history through DNA research, oral histories, interviews,
and genealogy. Fortune, the name of Harper's first nonindigenous
ancestor born on American soil, bore the brunt of the nation's
first race, gender, and citizenship laws. As Harper traces her
family's story through succeeding generations, she shows how
American ideas, customs, and laws robbed her ancestors--and the
ancestors of so many others--of their humanity and flourishing.
Fortune helps readers understand how America was built upon systems
and structures that blessed some and cursed others, allowing
Americans of European descent to benefit from the colonization,
genocide, enslavement, rape, and exploitation of people of color.
As Harper lights a path through national and religious history, she
clarifies exactly how and when the world broke and shows the way to
redemption for us all. The book culminates with a powerful and
compelling vision of truth telling, reparation, and forgiveness
that leads to Beloved Community. It includes a foreword by Otis
Moss III, illustrations, and a glossy eight-page black-and-white
insert featuring photos of Harper's family.
