Mormonism and White Supremacy - American Religion and The Problem of Racial Innocence

As America begins to come to terms with the costs of white privilege to Black lives, this book urges a soul-searching examination of the role American Christianity has played in sustaining everyday white supremacy by assuring white people of their innocence. In Mormonism and White Supremacy, Joanna Brooks offers an unflinching look at her own people''s history and culture and finds in it lessons that will hit home for every scholar of American religion or person of faith.
