by Layli Maparyan (Contribution by), Richard Hollinger (Contribution by), June Thomas (Contribution by)

The Baha'i Faith and African American Studies: Perspectives on Racial Justice provides readers who may already have basic or even advanced familiarity with the struggle for racial justice in the United States with new material from a less well-known angle: that of members of the Baha'i Faith, for whom the pursuit of racial justice, healing, and harmony are central to their religious expression. Inside these pages, readers will find history, social scientific analysis, and personal memoir showcasing Black Baha'is as well as Baha'is from diverse backgrounds who are working to address America's "most challenging issue."
