Who are the Nones? What does humanism say about race, religion and popular culture? How do race, religion and popular culture inform and affect humanism?
The demographics of the United States are changing, marked most profoundly by the religiously unaffiliated, or what we have to come to call the Nones. Spread across generations in the United States, this group encompasses a wide range of philosophical and ideological perspectives, from some in line with various forms of theism to those who are atheistic, and all sorts of combinations in between. Similar changes to demographics are taking place in Europe and elsewhere.
Humanism- Essays on Race, Religion and Popular Culture provides a much-needed humanities-based analysis and description of humanism in relation to these cultural markers. Whereas most existing analysis attempts to explain humanism through the natural and social sciences (the what of life), Anthony B. Pinn explores humanism in relation to how life is arranged, socialized, ritualized, and framed. Topics and themes explored range from the African-American experience, to the development of humanist churches, and the lyrics of Jay Z. Bringing together old and new essays, Humanism- Essays on Race, Religion and Popular Culture is a ground-breaking publication from Anthony B.Pinn.

Industry Reviews

As humanism grows and develops, the evolving field of humanist studies needs to catch up with both its growing diversity and its intellectual rigor. Professor Pinn is in the vanguard of this endeavor and these essays are an essential contribution to this academic debate.
