Index of Terms

Deception

Deception, for Thurman, is the weak’s most effective short-term tool against the strong. It is understandable and often easy to rationalize, but Thurman warns against its usage and argues instead for complete honesty and sincerity.

Disinherited

Thurman interchangeably refers to “the disinherited,” “the weak,” and “the underprivileged.” These are groups of humans sharing racial, social, or national identities who are oppressed by more powerful groups, often living in close proximity.

Faith

Faith is the recurring belief in God’s love and forgiveness, which also inspires faith in one’s personal and political goals.
