- Synopsis
- Explores Chicana and Chicano popular culture through contemporary representations in both Hollywood commercial and independent cinema.Rosa Linda Fregoso&’s The Bronze Screen opens the way for international debate on the new critical field of Chicano/a cinema. Fregoso provides an incisive articulation of the ways in which narrative codes in film can telescope complex versions of Mexican and American culture and history. The often violent impact of &‘first&’ (U.S.) and &‘third&’ (Mexico) world cultures and geographies is channeled through the very term Chicano/a as well as its cinematic representation. Fregoso&’s masterful critique brings out with great clarity the irony, paradox, and contradictions of such historical collisions. --Norma Alarcón, University of California, Berkeley
