White Devils, Black Gods: Race, Masculinity, and Religious Codependency
Christopher M. Driscoll
Interweaving academic theory, (auto)ethnography, and memoir-styled narrative, Christopher M. Driscoll explores what the "white devil" trope means for understanding and responding to tensions emerging from toxic white masculinity.
The book provides a historical and philosophical account of the "white devil" as it appears in stories and myths in various Black religions, particularly as these traditions are expressed through the contemporary cultural expression of hip-hop. Driscoll argues that through the trope of the white devil arises a self-hatred in white men that is concealed (and revealed) through various defence mechanisms - principally, anger - and provides rich ground to discuss the relationship between perceptions of self (i.e. who we are), emotional regulation, and our behaviour towards others (i.e. how we act).
Depicting paths forward for genuine reparations and systemic justice, this is an essential read for people who want to build communities to counter white racism and nurture expansive, generative interdependence.
