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. --$cPublisher. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of the Media. 606 $aMotion pictures, American 615 0$aMotion pictures, American. 676 $a780.71 700 $aAbrams$b Douglas Carl$f1950-$01213648 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910635383803321 996 $aMissionaries in the Golden Age of Hollywood$93360533 997 $aUNINA
