Mexican national cinema

Edición de la obra Mexican national cinema

"Mexican National Cinema offers an account of the development of Mexican cinema from the intense cultural nationalism in the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution, through the 'Golden Age' of the 1940s and the Nuevo Cine of the 1960s, to the renaissance in Mexican cinema in the 1990s." "The book moves from broad historical and theoretical contexts, particularly theories of nation, emergent discourses of 'mexicanidad' and the establishment and development of the Mexican industry, towards readings of key film texts and genres."--Jacket.
