Sociologist and CEO of the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) examines the unholy relationship between American Christianity and white supremacyâdrawing on research and his own experiencesâand issues an urgent call for white Christians to reckon with this legacy for the sake of themselves and the nation.
What The Reviewers Say
Jones builds his case with evidence, drawing on an eclectic blend of history, theology, sociology and memoir. His use of autobiography works especially well. Before the cascade of data can turn his narrative into a detached analyst’s clinical dissection of the problem, Jones gets personal.
As well as a searing indictment, White Too Long is a passionate call to action.
... a wonderful book. Along with being required reading for white Americans (its intended audience), it’s also a resource for Americans of color, if only to learn about the contours of white America’s dialogue on race.
... wide-ranging work.
