A Long, Long Way: Hollywood's Unfinished Journey from Racism to Reconciliation
Greg Garrett
Oxford University Press
Greg Garrett brings his signature brand of theologically motivated cultural criticism to bear as he argues that movies -- from Birth of a Nation to Get Out to Moonlight-- have altered our cultural perspectives in the same way religious narratives have, and that religious traditions offer powerful correctives for our cultural narratives. In acknowledging the racist history of America's national art form, Garrett offers the possibility of hope for the future.
