White Devils, Black Gods
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-17592-1 (ISBN)
The book provides a historical and philosophical account of the “white devil” as it appears in the stories and myths of various black religious and philosophical traditions, particularly as these traditions are expressed through the contemporary cultural expression of hip-hop. Driscoll argues that the trope of the white devil emerges from a self-hatred in many white men that is concealed (and revealed) through various defence mechanisms – principally, anger – and the book 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).
Christopher M. Driscoll is Associate Professor of Religion Studies at Lehigh University, USA. He is author of White Lies: Race & Uncertainty in the Twilight of American Religion (2015), co-author of Method as Identity: Manufacturing Distance in the Academic Study of Religion (2018), co-editor of Kendrick Lamar and the Making of Black Meaning (2020), and co-editor of Breaking Bread, Breaking Beats: Churches and Hip Hop – A Guide to Key Issues (2014).
