Abstract: "Promoting Racial, Ethnic, and Religious Understanding and Reconciliation helps us rethink our ideas about race, ethnicity, and religious understanding. It explores children's psychological development with regard to race, provides a fascinating cost-benefit analysis of forgiveness, and shows universities how to convince students of all races to enroll in - and learn from - race studies courses. This volume will help all readers understand how vital it is that we learn to forgive each other for the many hurts and injustices that we have inflicted on one another in the past, so that we can build an inclusive society and a stronger, more united future."--Jacket.
