Culled from a decade of writing about social justice and spirituality, these meditations on race, identity, and social policy provide an outline for laying claim to our shared humanity and a way toward healing ourselves and securing our future. <em>Racing to Justice<\/em> challenges us to replace attitudes and institutions that promote and perpetuate social suffering with those that foster relationships and a way of being that transcends disconnection and separation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Table of Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Acknowledgments<\/li>\n<li>Introduction: Moving Beyond the Isolated Self<\/li>\n<li><strong>I.
