Missionaries in the Golden Age of Hollywood
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-19163-3 (ISBN)
This book examines major British and American missionary films during the Golden Age of Hollywood to explore the significance of race, gender, and spirituality in relation to the lives of the missionaries portrayed in film during the middle third of the twentieth century. Film both influences and reflects culture, and racial, gender, and religious identities are some of the most debated issues globally today. In the movies explored in this book, missionary interactions with various people groups reflect the historical changes which took place during this time.
Douglas Carl Abrams is Professor of History at Bob Jones University, USA.
