This book charts a comparative history of Latin America's national
cinemas through ten chapters that cover every major cinematic
period in the region: silent cinema, studio cinema, neorealism and
art cinema, the New Latin American Cinema, and contemporary cinema.
Schroeder Rodriguez weaves close readings of approximately fifty
paradigmatic films into a lucid narrative history that is rigorous
in its scholarship and framed by a compelling theorization of the
multiple discourses of modernity. The result is an essential guide
that promises to transform our understanding of the region's
cultural history in the last hundred years by highlighting how key
players such as the church and the state have affected cinema's
unique ability to help shape public discourse and construct modern
identities in a region marked by ongoing struggles for social
justice and liberation.
