Description - Does the U.S. Need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission?: A Philosophical Investigation by Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò
- A clear view of the wide chasm between the ideals established at the U.S.’s founding and the subsequent society that developed.
- Combines first-person experiences of the author with close readings of modern political philosophy, W.E.B. Du Bois, Martin Luther King, Jr., Derrick Bell, and others.
- Traces the link between the denial of citizenship to Blacks, both historically and today, and anti-Black violence.
- Shows how an obsession with the law and legal reform will never adequately address the fundamental problem of anti-Black oppression.
- Shows philosophically the necessity of establishing a consensual view of the truth must precede any effective reonciliation.
