And, our commitment to Kingdom diversity is no exception. ![]() Yancey's book offers a third path to help God's image bearers get closer to the promised land of both racial healing and a racially fair society.Kingdom Diversity at Cedarville Universityįrom academics and athletics to daily chapel and student life, everything at Cedarville is built on biblical truth. For those interested in getting off the paths of colorblindness and antiracism, Dr. Yancey argues for a third path that he calls 'mutual accountability/responsibility' or 'collaborative conversations.' This approach invites ethnically diverse image-bearers to be proactive and take personal responsibility to enter into collaborative conversations with the intent of working together with all ethnically diverse image-bearers of goodwill to solve racialized problems. As did Christ with arms outstretched, Yancey herein seeks to unite motivations and to hold Christ-followers in tension so that we might walk a more productive path for the sake of the gospel. Yancey contends that the path of colorblindness ignores racialized problems, and the path of antiracism causes a racially hostile society to be even more hostile and polarized instead of bringing ethnically diverse people together. In Beyond Racial Division, he navigates nuance and effectively challenges readers to get beyond rhetoric to results in their engagement of diverse others. The addition of Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth to our personal libraries will help us to move closer to a holistic approach to issues tied to social justice.' - GEORGE YANCEY, professor of sociology, Baylor University author of Beyond Racial Gridlock -This text refers to the paperback edition. George Yancey argues that the two paths of colorblindness and antiracism have not worked and will not work to solve the country's problems and heal its pain resulting from a racialized society. Avoiding unilateral decisions that close off dialogue, Yancey casts a vision for moving beyond racial alienation toward a lifestyle and movement of collaborative conversation and mutuality. History and societal complexity mean that different participants may have different kinds of responsibility, but all are involved in seeking the common good for all to thrive. He provides empirical rationale for how collaborative conversations in a mutual accountability model can reduce racial division. Sociologist George Yancey offers an alternative approach to racial relations where all parties contribute and are mutually accountable to one another for societal well-being. On the other hand, antiracism centers racial concerns and in so doing often alienates people who need to be involved in the process. Colorblindness ignores the realities of race and the history of injustice. Christianity Today Book Award-Politics and Pubilc LifeĮfforts at colorblindness and antiracism have not been very effective in addressing racial tensions in the United States.
