All Souls, DC is pleased to welcome New York Times bestselling author, leading scholar and commentator on religion and politics, Robert P. Jones, talking about the 2024 Election and his new book.
Taking the story of white supremacy in America back to 1493, and examining contemporary communities in Mississippi, Minnesota, and Oklahoma for models of racial repair, The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy helps chart a new course toward a genuinely pluralistic democracy. It also explains how the founders could build the philosophical framework for a democratic society on a foundation of mass racial violence–and why this paradox survives today in the form of white Christian nationalism.
About the Author: Robert P. Jones is the president and founder of Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) and a leading commentator on politics, culture, and religion. His previous books include White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity, which won a 2021 American Book Award, and The End of White Christian America, which won the 2019 Grawemeyer Award in Religion.
