Examining race, law, and religion in today's America, The Least of These highlights the power of these principles to both divide and unite, and promotes a new form of liberalism that incorporates the spiritual values long neglected by earlier progressive liberals.
Relaunching the fundamental tenet of progressive liberalism - that a justly ordered society must protect the interests and promote opportunities for the least advantaged of its population - Anthony Cook argues for a revival of the progressive vision of American politics.
While the affirmative action debates smolder around the country, Cook contends that the spiritual foundation of this liberal tenet must be unearthed and elaborated to fit our times before we can attempt to tackle the issues that the civil rights era has left unanswered.
