Antiblackness supremacy operates as a unique form of oppression: it arises from the enduring association of blackness with slave status and plays a foundational role in processes of racialization and racial hierarchy in the United States. In fact, since non-black people often amass power at the expense of black people, much of \"white supremacy\" is more accurately described as \"antiblackness supremacy.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to introducing a new framework of racial analysis, this book proposes a new approach to virtue ethics. Anti-blackness supremacy inhabits not just the biased mind and the individual body, it also resides in the corporate body of the church. But due to the porosity of Christ's body, the church cannot reform itself from within. Antiblackness supremacy has twisted even baptism and the Eucharist in its image. In response, the theory of corporate virtue outlined here contemplates the conditions under which the church's corporately vicious and necessarily porous body can be made to \"do the right thing.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katie Walker Grimes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1506427995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781506427997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Katie Walker Grimes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065662615807,"sku":"9781506427997","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e1c290a-ad89-4fa2-9bd1-23d0e60dc5d8.jpg?v=1768676453","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/christ-divided-katie-walker-grimes-9781506427997","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
