Summary:Bringing the wisdom of generations of black Catholics into conversation with contemporary scholarly accounts of racism, Christ Divided diagnoses antiblackness supremacy as a corporate vice that inhabits the body of Christ. To truly understand racial inequality, theologians must acknowledge the existence of antiblackness supremacy and recognize its uniquely foundational role in prevailing processes of racialization and racial hierarchy.
