Critical Race Theology: White Supremacy, American Christianity, and the Ongoing Culture Wars - Paperback

by Juan M. Floyd-Thomas (Author), Michael Eric Dyson (Foreword by)

Critical Race Theory, a legal concept that unmasks systemic racism, has become a lightning rod--attached uncritically to any discussion of race, white privilege, or racial injustice. What the author calls Critical Race Theology extends this critical lens to examination of the Christian church, to uncover its own complicity in reinforcing racial injustice.
