Thomas Merton has been the subject of a number of books in the years since his death. His spiritual autobiography, The Seven Storey Mountain, was a best-seller at the time of its publication, and continues to be purchased and read at a steady pace. In addition, books of his meditations, poems, reflections, essays, letters, and journals have also been produced. While Merton wrote extensively on racial justice, and while these writings have been collected in certain volumes, there are few (if any) books devoted to summarizing, analysing, and applying his ideas to current racial tensions in the United States. This book reviews some of his most important experiences and writings on race and social justice, and uses Merton as a model for easing present-day tensions.

Edward Vinski is the author of William James and the Birth of Modern Teaching and Paul Tillich and the Pedagogy of Courage. He received his Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Providence College, his Master's degree in School Psychology from St. John's University, USA, and his PhD in Educational Psychology from The Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He has taught at the College of Staten Island and Stony Brook University, and is currently Associate Professor of Education and Adolescence Education Department Chairperson at St. Joseph's University, New York.
