<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Rev. Dr. Kevin W. Cosby points to the story of Nehemiah for guidance on how to rebuild Black America, with a specific emphasis on economic justice in the form of reparations to ADOS.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Too often, all oppressed people in America are lumped together under the moniker "people of color," as if each group's experience under the yoke of systemic racism has the same economic and social repercussions. But the American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) hold a unique claim to economic and reparative justice: for ADOS, after all, is the only group whose ancestors were forcibly brought to America, enslaved, built much of the wealth of the country, yet continue to be specifically excluded from the same social, political, and economic rights of other Americans. To that end, Rev. Dr. Kevin W. Cosby lays out the first theology of the ADOS movement, turning the traditional lens of Black liberation theology from Moses leading escaped Hebrew slaves in Exodus to other biblical leaders like Solomon, Daniel, and Nehemiah.</p><p><br></p><p>In the stories of Nehemiah and other biblical leaders, Cosby finds inspiration on how to rebuild Black America including the necessity of government reparations for ADOS. Cosby calls all Americans to move from a place of relative nonengagement and detachment to a place of active support of ADOS's efforts for justice and healing.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Cosby's robustly Christian contribution to Black activism is a welcome and challenging call to the ongoing work of repentance and restoration. -- <em>The Englewood Review of Books </em></p><br>
