The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy: and the Path to a Shared American Future

Review “Full of urgency and insight, Jones’s book is a compelling and necessary undertaking. . . . Much is to be gained from Jones’s deep, comparative immersion in local efforts to ameliorate the wounds of the past. . . . The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy offers uncommon and moving entry into some of the most vexing challenges of our era.” -- Ned Blackhawk ― The New York Times"Blistering, bracing and brave . . . This book couldn’t be more timely in the courageous effort to close the gap between what we as a nation say we are and what we truly have been." -- Michael Eric Dyson, author of Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America“Revelatory. . . . A searing, stirring outline of the historical and contemporary significance of white Christian nationalism.” ― Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“In this elegantly crafted book, Robert P. Jones unearths harrowing and long forgotten stories of the racial violence inscribed on our nation’s past. Yet it is not a book without hope, for only by confronting our collective history can we begin to heal our nation’s wounds.” -- Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Professor of History and Gender Studies, Calvin University; author of Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation
