Tracing the narrative of white supremacy in America to 1493 and exploring contemporary communities in Mississippi, Minnesota, and Oklahoma for examples of racial healing, "The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy" proposes a path toward a truly pluralistic democracy. Beginning with present-day efforts to confront the legacy of white supremacy, the book revisits the pivotal year when an obscure church doctrine emerged, influencing the perspectives of European Christians for centuries. By connecting events like Emmett Till's story to the Spanish conquistador Hernando De Soto and linking other historical atrocities, the author argues that the enslavement of Africans wasn't America's original sin but a continuation of genocidal acts stemming from the first European contact with Native Americans. This reframing of American origins sheds light on how mass racial violence became the foundation for the philosophical framework of a democratic society, a paradox that persists today in the guise of white Christian nationalism. Through narratives of individuals navigating these contradictions in various communities, the book envisions a new American future that fulfills the promise of a truly pluralistic democracy.
