First chapter was good, particularly Aristotle's concept of "proper pride". Rest of the book was not really a reflection on pride as one of the seven deadly sins, nor as the chief of sins. Instead, the author chose to take on white pride, black pride, and national pride. All worthy subject, perhaps, but not what I expected from this series. Disappointing. ( ) A promising start but disappointing. To be truthful, I'm not sure how this book is about pride. I anticipated a theological or philosophical discussion of some kind; I ended up with social commentary on white pride (bad) and black pride (good) for about 75% of the book. The consideration of what constitutes pride in each case I found to be accusatory and superficial. While this is truly not your Pope Gregory's pride, bring the discussion back to something remotely universal, if one can even speak of universals anymore (as anything other than guises of oppression). But call me naive. It ends with a shallowness that perhaps aims to bring shame to white folks for the sins of pride as the instigator of social injustice and racism. It's a shame that this book could not move beyond that. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Explores the fate of pride from Christian theology to the social responsibilities of self-regard and regard for the society as a whole. This work examines how pride, within black communities, becomes a necessary defense against a culture that at once formally rejected it in their religious beliefs but embraced it in their social relations.
