Sommario/riassunto |
|
Explores the fate of pride from Christian theology to the social responsibilities of self-regard and regard for the society as a whole. This work examines how pride, within black communities, becomes a necessary defense against a culture that at once formally rejected it in their religious beliefs but embraced it in their social relations. |
