Review Quotes: "A bold attempt to determine the conditions of--and the means for achieving--racial justice."--Kirkus Reviews
"Black Dignity is a must-read for anyone struggling against domination in a world constituted by anti-Blackness. . . . Morally stimulating, energizing, probing, and clear, Black Dignity demonstrates Lloyd's ability to weave together and synthesize Black political and religious thought."--Matthew Vega, Sojourners "Black Dignity is a textured and moving account of how social movements give new life to our deepest commitments and our highest aspirations."--Corey D. B. Walker, Wake Forest Professor of the Humanities, Wake Forest University "Black Dignity is a defining treatise for our contemporary moment. Vincent Lloyd explains how the Black Lives Matter movement builds on and corrects historic Black Radical traditions. A must study for students of Black freedom struggle."--Akinyele Omowale Umoja, coeditor of Black Power Encyclopedia "Lloyd powerfully joins a growing and urgent literature on the relationship among civic ideals, political and social morality, racial identity, and the emotions. I suspect Black Dignity will quickly become a fixture in conversations concerning visions of America against the backdrop of racial violence and inequity."--Christopher J. Lebron, author of The Making of Black Lives Matter: A Brief History of An Idea
