520			_a"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. Robert P. Jones returns to the fateful year when the Christian 'Doctrine of Discovery'--the idea that God designated America as a new promised land--shaped how five centuries of Europeans would understand the 'new' world and the people who populated it. As he brings this story forward, Jones shows us the connections between Emmett Till and the Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto in the Mississippi Delta, between the lynching of three Black circus workers in Duluth and the mass execution of thirty-eight Dakota men in Mankato, and between the murder of three hundred African Americans during the destruction of Black Wall Street in Tulsa and the Trail of Tears. Jones reminds us that the enslavement of Africans was not America's original sin but rather the continuation of a pattern of genocide and dispossession that began with the first European contact with Native Americans. This reframing of American origins explains how the architects of the United States could build a democratic society on a foundation of mass racial violence--and why this paradox survives today in the form of white Christian nationalism. Through stories of people navigating these contradictions in three communities, Jones illuminates the possibility of a new American future in which we finally fulfill the promise of our democracy." -- _cJacket flap
