He is the author or coauthor of seven books, including White Bound: Nationalists, Antiracists, and the Shared Meanings of Race. Daniel Bernardi, author of Star Trek and History: Race-ing Toward a White Future writes, “In The White Savior Film, Matthew Hughey offers an insightful, thorough and well-written analysis of a key trope in America’s racial formation: cinematic representations of noble saviors—from Sandra Bullock to Kevin Costner—fighting to save Others. This important book offers its readers a timely analysis of how contemporary cinema continues to perpetuate racism by eliding historical specificity.”
