Michael O. Emerson and Glenn E. Bracey II argue that most white Christians in America are believers in a "Religion of Whiteness" that raises the perpetuation of racial inequality to a spiritual commitment and shapes their faith, their politics, and more. Using national survey data, in-depth interviews, and focus group results gathered over several years, Emerson and Bracey show how the Religion of Whiteness shapes the practice of Christianity for millions of Americans--and what can be done to confront it.
