Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America

Minister, Georgetown University professor of Sociology, and author who was named one of the 150 most powerful blacks in the nation, Michael Eric Dyson has written a book amplifying the themes he has voiced in his New York Times op-ed articles addressing the current and long-burning race relations crisis in America. Dyson pulls no punches in telling the truth about the chaos that looms if we don’t address the underlying forces that threaten our nation’s moral and political health. This book digs deep into America’s racial past while also offering the most up to date investigations, as well as the opportunities we have to make things better. Dyson offers a unique and empowering blend of historical perspective and contemporary analysis as he probes whiteness in America: how it was invented, how it grieves its slow but certain erosion, how it takes refuge in notions of innocence – and how it has reasserted itself as Donald J. Trump takes up residence in the Oval Office.
