Description
Arguing that January 6th was just the tip of the iceberg, this book reveals the full impact of white Christian nationalism on the United States. Flowers explores how white Christian nationalism has infused its agenda in social, cultural, legislative, and political aspects of life in an effort to move the United States toward becoming an authoritarian theocratic white ethnostate. Part of the larger far-right enterprise, white Christian nationalism is unique in the way in which it pulls a variety of far-right ideologies together. These ideologies include anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+, antisemitism, authoritarianism, Christian nationalism, ethnonationalism, male supremacy, racism, sexism, and xenophobia. Understanding the way these ideologies complement each other and are perpetuated is the only route to resist them.

Reviews

Angelyn Flowers’ new book illumines the dark suturing of race, republic, and religion in our contemporary moment. Often silent and systemic, this monstrous social movement is reversing hard-won laws and norms that many take for granted. Flowers expertly details how, possessed by prejudice, powered by patriotism, and driven by dogma, certain people and groups have developed a clandestine plan to ravage not only democracy, but the basic human rights of all but a few.

A compelling and comprehensive analysis of the influence and impact of white Christian nationalism ideology and the dangerous threat it poses to the future of democracy in America. This book reveals that numerous violent, seemingly isolated, incidents were influenced by this ideology. In examining these events, Flowers intricately links them to its goal of establishing a white ethnostate. Highlighting the insidious infusion of white Christian nationalism into our daily lives, this book serves as a clarion call for everyone to do their part to protect American democracy.
Shiela Harmon-Martin, professor emeritus, University of the District of Columbia
