The flag and the cross : white Christian nationalism and the threat to American democracy / Philip S. Gorski and Samuel L. Perry ; foreword by Jemar Tisby.
In this short primer, Gorski and Perry explain what white Christian nationalism is and is not; when it first emerged and how it has changed; where it's headed and why it threatens democracy. Tracing the development of this ideology over the course of three centuries and especially its influence over the last three decades, they show how white Christian nationalism motivates the anti-democratic, authoritarian, and violent impulses on display in our current political moment.
