The Hidden Roots Of White Supremacy by Robert P. Jones
A historical and sociological examination of how religious beliefs, institutions, and narratives have helped construct and sustain white racial identity and dominance in the United States, tracing links from slavery and Reconstruction through 20th- and 21st-century Christian nationalism; the book shows how theology, rituals, and religious authority have been mobilized to normalize racial hierarchy, uses archival research, interviews, and polling to explain why many white Americans see Christianity and whiteness as intertwined, and argues that disentangling faith from racial control requires both theological reckoning and concrete institutional reforms.
