A long, long way : Hollywood's unfinished journey from racism to reconciliation
Garrett, Greg2020
Books
Hollywood films are powerful storytellers in American history, and their depiction of race and culture has helped to shape the way people around the world respond to race and prejudice. Over the past 100 years, films have moved from the radically prejudiced views of people of colour to the depiction of people of colour by writers and filmmakers from within those cultures. Religious traditions offer powerful correctives to our cultural narratives, and this work incorporates both narrative truth-telling and religious truth-telling as we consider race and film and work toward reconciliation. By exploring the hundred-year period from The Birth of a Nation to Get Out, this work acknowledges the racist history of America and offers the possibility of hope for the future.
