About this listen

In this episode I'm honored to have Dr. Sara Moslener on the show. Despite a bout with Covid-19, Sara was gracious to join me over Zoom to talk about White Purity Culture, specifically: how it manifests itself in Evangelical notions of sexual purity; racial purity and how the defense of white women's purity in the 19th century helped harden racial discrimination, ultimately leading to the horror of lynching; and finally the White Christian Nationalism is rising in America today and has really always been with us.

Get Dr. Moslener's book, Virgin Nation: Sexual Purity and American Adolescence here.

Also be sure to check out her new podcast from Axis Mundi, Pure White, wherever you podcast.

In the podcast we also talked about a great digital exhibit that you can access here: Truth Telling - Frances Willard and Ida B. Wells
