This is the haunting question that was raised at the recent general congregation of the Jesuits about Ignatius's \u003ci\u003eSpiritual Exercises\u003c\/i\u003e and the question the contributors to this book explore and attempt to answer in the context of ongoing racial injustice in the United States. All of us who love and are engaged in Ignatian spirituality must also ask ourselves this same question. Contributors explore this question by examining how \"color-blindness racism\" determines our interpretation of the \u003ci\u003eSpiritual Exercises\u003c\/i\u003e in the United States. Animated by the grace of Ignatius's conversion experience these spiritual directors, theologians, and leaders in Jesuit ministries offer insightful scholarly and creative pastoral engagement of the\u003ci\u003e Spiritual Exercises\u003c\/i\u003e for the ongoing journey of conversion from racism and white supremacy in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors include: \u003cbr\u003eMaka Black Elk (Oglala Lakota) -- Laurie Cassidy -- Matthew J.
