Reviews

"""This book skillfully critiques the origin, meanings, and impact of apocalyptic films within the larger discourse of race in contemporary America."" — CHOICE ""At the heart of this erudite and long overdue study lies a true golden nugget: that apocalyptic thought, originally intended for a group in crisis with the purpose of exhortation or consolation by means of divine authority, has been co-opted by the dominant culture—a culture that is predominantly white and male."" — Frances Gateward, Howard University"
