A blog for the exploration of theological and cultural issues in American society from a Latino perspective. I want to address current theological, philosophical, political, and public policy issues that impact the lives of everyone in the United States.

Just thought it would be useful for you to get your hands of this new book by Robert P. Jones: The Roots of White Supremacy. Follow this link so that you can listen to the author talk about the book, which I am sure you will find extremely valuable.
Yesterday I listened to a presentation made by Dr. Robert P. Jones, president of the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI). He spoke about his new book, The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy, with Dr. Diana Butler Bass the host of The Cottage.
Bass and Jones talked about history, religion, and politics — and the current conflicts over American identity. For Dr. Jones, we need to understand the issues facing the United States better if we start with 1493, the year of Columbus’ second voyage to North America. He points readers toward a wider — and more honest — vision of history that involves realistic hope for a better future.
