Reviews

Instead of conceiving of natural law in terms of individualized reason, black natural law understands human nature as a complex mix of reason, emotion, and imagination. To discern this combination, black natural law appeals to communal and political contexts in which they intertwine in endlessly varied forms. These sites of discernment are crucial for Lloyd, framing human nature in terms of fighting against injustice. Lloyd's work is not simply imaginative; it is provocative. Lloyd invites all to give priority to the black natural law tradition. Highly recommended for all undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. --<em>CHOICE</em>
