Myths America Lives By

"This book is very powerful and has the potential of contributing to the healing of American culture with respect to race and equity." --Stone-Campbell Journal

"It takes a whole lot of courage for white theologians and scholars to speak the truth about race. If we had more white theologians and religion scholars like Hughes who would break their silence about white supremacy and face it for what it is, we--together--could make a better world." -- James H. Cone, author of The Cross and the Lynching Tree

 

"The American national story is a myth, built on a series of myths that Richard Hughes reveals in this critical book. Myths America Lives By is a book we all need in order to understand ourselves, to understand our nation, to understand White supremacy."--Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award-winning author of Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America
