The American cinema is one of the great myth-making machines of the last century and has been used to craft defining narratives of race.

Greg Garrett's new book suggests that looking to religious traditions can help us discern and correct our national narratives of race and ultimately lead to reconciliation in a meaningful and lasting way.
