This book offers a sociological examination of the reasons why African Americans feel love toward their country in spite of continuing to perceive or experience racial prejudice and discrimination against themselves and other African Americans. Dr. Ishio conducted face-to-face, in-depth interviews with college-educated African Americans in Texas between 2014 and 2015. The main conclusion of this study is that contradictory trends marked by persistent racism and racial progress, combined with the effects of Christian faith/practice fostered in the Black Church and the effects of foundational principles of the United States, have molded a distinctive form of patriotism among African Americans for whom this country is their homeland. This book presents an insightful analysis by a Japanese sociologist.
