Is God a white racist? Posed by William R. Jones in his
ground-breaking book of the same name, this question disrupted the
theological assumptions that marked Black religious thought from
early writings of the 1800s to the formation of Black theology in
the 1960s. This book compiles his key and essential writings
related to over three decades of critical reflection on race,
religion, secularism, and oppression in the United States. Over the
course of 30 years, Jones pushed questions and considerations that
refined Black theology and that gave greater shape to and
understanding of Black philosophers' intervention into issues of
racial and structural inequality. His philosophical work, related
to the grid of oppression, fosters an approach to the nature and
meaning of oppression in the United States, encouraging rational
interrogation of structures of injustice and thought patterns
supporting those structures. Still relevant today, the
straightforward style of communication used by Jones makes these
essays easily accessible to a popular audience, while maintaining
intellectual rigor, making the book also suitable for an
academy-based audience.
