Mormonism and White Supremacy: American Religion and The Problem of Racial Innocence
Joanna Brooks
This book examines the role of white American Christianity in fostering
and sustaining white supremacy. It draws from theology, critical race
theory, and American religious history to make the argument that
predominantly white Christian denominations have served as a venue for
establishing white privilege and have conveyed to white believers a
sense of moral innocence without requiring moral reckoning with the
costs of anti-Black racism. To demonstrate these arguments, the book
draws from Mormon history from the 1830s to the present, from an archive
that includes speeches, historical documents, theological treatises,
Sunday school curricula, and other documents of religious life.
