While Western films can be seen as a mode of American
exceptionalism, they have also become a global genre. Around the
world, Westerns exemplify colonial cinema, driven by the
exploration of racial and gender hierarchies and the progress and
violence shaped by imperialism. Transnationalism and Imperialism:
Endurance of the Global Western Film traces the Western from the
silent era to present day as the genre has circulated the world.
Contributors examine the reception and production of American
Westerns outside the US alongside the transnational aspects of
American productions, and they consider the work of minority
directors who use the genre to interrogate a visual history of
oppression. By viewing Western films through a transnational lens
and focusing on the reinterpretations, appropriations, and parallel
developments of the genre outside the US, editors Herve Mayer and
David Roche contribute to a growing body of literature that debunks
the pervasive correlation between the genre and American identity.
Perfect for media studies and political science, Transnationalism
and Imperialism reveals that Western films are more than cowboys;
they are a critical intersection where issues of power and
coloniality are negotiated.
