White Lies considers African-American bodies as the site of
cultural debates over a contested "white religion" in the United
States. Rooting his analysis in the work of W.E.B. DuBois and James
Baldwin, Christopher Driscoll traces the shifting definitions of
"white religion" from the nineteenth century up to the death of
Michael Brown and other racial controversies of the present day. He
engages both modern philosophers and popular imagery to isolate the
instabilities central to a "white religion," including the
inadequacy of this framing concept as a way of describing and
processing death. The book will be of interest to students and
scholars interested in African-American Religion, philosophy and
race, and Whiteness Studies.
