AB "American politics and culture are rife with people or groups demonizing others by projecting their own qualities onto them-from the cries of oppression heard at "tiki riots" to "No puppet, you're the puppet." But as John Corrigan shows, this isn't merely aggravating social behavior or transparent political maneuvering; it's a misdirected expression of trauma that is endemic to American institutions, American conceptions of self, and American history. Time and again, Corrigan shows, American churches in particular have campaigned against intolerance elsewhere even as they have abetted or performed it at home"--
