“I write as a partner, parent, scholar, and activist who longs to see my children and my children’s children free to thrive as human beings, unfettered by the pain and suffering of death-dealing white supremacy and racism.” —from the Introduction
In Unlearning White Supremacy author Alex Mikulich explores a wide range of historical, theological, and sociological analysis to address— and undermine—the roots of white supremacy from the founding of the country to today. Drawing on the writings of James Baldwin, W. E. B. DuBois, M. Shawn Copeland, and others, the author weaves together an analysis of anti-Black white supremacy, its history and institutionalization, and what resources are available to combat it, in ourselves and our society.
Unlearning White Supremacy shows how white Christians in particular can unlearn the untruths of supremacy in themselves and facilitate new ways of living whereby our human and non-human kin may flourish and fully thrive.
Alex Mikulich, a Roman Catholic theologian and social ethicist, devotes his scholarship and activism to addressing white privilege and racism in the Catholic Church and in society. He is co-author of The Scandal of White Complicity in U.S. Hyper-Incarceration, and he co-edited Interrupting White Privilege: Catholic Theologians Break the Silence, which won the 2008 Theological Book of the Year award from the College Theology Society.
