In the 1990s, many evangelical Christian organizations and church
leaders began to acknowledge their long history of racism and
launched efforts at becoming more inclusive of people of color.
While much of this racial reconciliation movement has not directly
confronted systemic racism's structural causes, there exists a
smaller countermovement within evangelicalism, primarily led by
women of color who are actively engaged in antiracism and social
justice struggles. In Unreconciled Andrea Smith examines these
movements through a critical ethnic studies lens, evaluating the
varying degrees to which evangelical communities that were founded
on white supremacy have addressed racism. Drawing on evangelical
publications, sermons, and organization statements, as well as
ethnographic fieldwork and participation in evangelical events,
Smith shows how evangelicalism is largely unable to effectively
challenge white supremacy due to its reliance upon discourses of
whiteness. At the same time, the work of progressive evangelical
women of color not only demonstrates that evangelical Christianity
can be an unexpected place in which to find theoretical critique
and social justice organizing but also shows how critical ethnic
studies' interventions can be applied broadly across political and
religious divides outside the academy.
