Description

Explore the historical development of Puerto Rican national identity through the lens of early film. This scholarly work examines the period between 1897 and 1940, analyzing how cinema shaped national sentiments and navigated transnational realities. Naida Garcia-Crespo uses archival research in film technology, economy, and education to present a unique perspective on how a stateless nation defines its cultural identity. By moving beyond traditional definitions of citizenship or state structures, this book offers a new way to understand national cinema. It focuses on the productive cultural contributions that define a people, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars of Latin American literature, film history, and cultural studies. This text contributes to the growing academic conversation regarding how media influences the perception of a nation.
