Description

Product Description Revolution and Rebellion in Mexican Film examines Mexican films of political conflict from the early studio Revolutionary films of the 1930-50s up to the campaigning Zapatista films of the 2000s. Mapping this evolution out for the first time, the author takes three key events under consideration: the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920); the student movement and massacre in 1968; and, finally, the more recent Zapatista Rebellion (1994-present). Analyzing films such as Vamanos con Pancho Villa (1936), El Grito (1968), and Corazon del Tiempo (2008), the author uses the term 'political conflict' to refer to those violent disturbances, dramatic periods of confrontation, injury and death, which characterize particular historical events involving state and non-state actors that may have a finite duration, but have a long-lasting legacy on the nation. These conflicts have been an important component of Mexican film since its inception and include studio productions, documentaries, and independent films. Review "Thornton presents a fresh look at the history of cinema in Mexico that depicts the Revolution of 19010, the student movement of 1869, and the Zapatista rebellion of 1994 to the present. Thornton's book is not only a history, but a well-thought out criticism of the history of cinema in Mexico and of the selected films reviewed in this volume. This book is for the general reader of Mexican history, history of cinema, and is recommended for classroom use." --Colonial Latin Historical Review About the Author Niamh Thornton is a Senior Lecturer in Hispanic Studies and Film at the University of Ulster, UK. She has published a monograph, as well as two co-edited books, and several chapters and journal articles on film, literature and cyberculture.
