Growing up in Latin America contributes to the growing body of
scholarship on the representation of children and minors in
contemporary Latin American literature and film. This volume looks
closely at the question of agency and the role of minors as active
participants in the complex historical processes of the Latin
American continent during the 20th and 21st centuries, both as
national citizens and as transnational migrants. Questions of
gender, migration, violence, post-coloniality, and precarity are
central to the analysis of childhood and youth narratives in this
collection of essays.
This insightful account analyzes and provides context for the films
and careers of directors who have made Latin American film an
important force in Hollywood and in world cinema. In this
insightful account, R. Hernandez-Rodriguez analyzes some of the
most important, fascinating, and popular films to come out of Latin
America in the last three decades, connecting them to a long
tradition of filmmaking that goes back to the beginning of the 20th
century. Directors Alejandro Inarritu, Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso
Cuaron, and Lucretia Martel and director/screenwriter Guillermo
Arriaga have given cause for critics and public alike to praise a
new golden age of Latin American cinema. Splendors of Latin Cinema
probes deeply into their films, but also looks back at the two most
important previous moments of this cinema: the experimental films
of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the stage-setting movies from
the 1940s and 1950s. It discusses films, directors, and stars from
Spain (as a continuing influence), Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina,
Peru, and Chile that have contributed to one of the most
interesting aspects of world cinema.
