"Drawing on harrowing accounts of lynchings, Smith establishes what dehumanization is and isn't. To dehumanize an enemy is to hold two incongruous beliefs at the same time: the enemy is at once subhuman and fully human. Calling someone a monster is not merely metaphor-actual dehumanization happens in our minds. The process is deeply seated in our psychology, and it is precisely because we are all human that we are vulnerable to it"--

The film gives a quietly searing view of a post-9/11 America that is struggling to live up to its promise of tolerance and...

Carson traces the subtle but enormous shift in the way we have come to understand tolerance over recent years--from defending the rights of those who hold different beliefs to affirming all beliefs as equally valid and correct.
