Google Preview: On January 20th, 2009, the United States entered a new era in terms of race relations in the country. The hopes of many Americans were not to be fulfilled and many believe race relations are worse now. The reason is the legacy of race is integral to the American nation. The Religion of White Supremacy in the United States traces this legacy to show how race is defined by more than beliefs or acts of injustice. What this book reveals is that white supremacy is a religion in the United States. This book is a theo-historical account of race in the United States that argues that white supremacy functions through the Protestant Christian tradition. The Religion of White Supremacy in the United States is an interdisciplinary work of Critical Whiteness Studies, American History, and Theology to build a narrative in which the religion of white supremacy dominates U.S. culture and society. In this way, the racial tensions during the Obama era become sensible and inevitable in a nation that finds ultimacy in white supremacy.; Introduction: Why a Religion of White Supremacy? Part One: The Theological Foundations of White Supremacy Chapter 1: The Religion of White Supremacy Chapter 2: The White Christ Part Two: The Historical Foundations of White Supremacy Chapter 3: The Promised Land Chapter 4: The Ritual of Sacrifice Chapter 5: The Priesthood of All Believers Conclusion; Google Preview content
