The Bronze Screen Chicana and Chicano Film Culture Rosa Linda Fregoso |
|
|
Explores Chicana and Chicano popular culture through contemporary representations in both Hollywood commercial and independent cinema. "This is state-of-the-art scholarship. Rosa Linda Fregoso has managed to combine social histories, textual analyses, and film theories into an original and useful view of contemporary Chicano cinema. The Bronze Screen proves that gender and race need not be mutually exclusive-and that history and theory actually have something to say to each other, given the right writer to facilitate the conversation." —B. Ruby Rich "Coherent and focused. Fregoso has a sharp critical eye. Fregoso provides compelling analyses as she focuses on contexts and issues, particularly gender, often overlooked by other Chicano critics of popular culture and the media. This is a text that will challenge and provoke students interested in and knowledgeable about the Chicano Movement and Chicana/o film. It is also a useful illustration of how incorporating cultural and feminist analyses into issues of gender and ethnicity can enrich our understanding of Chicano culture. Fregoso provides insightful analyses that bridge from the masculine set of texts endemic to Chicano studies to a more encompassing vision that is inclusive of Chicanos in the context of Mexican-American popular culture." —Text and Performance Quarterly 168 pages | 17 photographs | 1993 |
