Description

Latino American cinema is a provocative, complex, and definitively American topic of study. This book examines key mainstream commercial films while also spotlighting often-underappreciated documentaries, avant-garde and experimental projects, independent productions, features and shorts, and more. • Nearly 300 entries on movies, actors and actresses, concepts, and trends • A resource guide and bibliography provides listings of online references and databases, research centers, and media distributors • Sidebar discussions that elaborate on key points within the entry, spotlight historical and social contexts, and offer examples
