"Celluloid Nationalism and Other Melodramas looks at representation and rebellion in times of national uncertainty. Moving from mid-century Mexican cinema to recent films staged in Los Angeles and Mexico City, Susan Dever analyzes melodrama's double function as a genre and as a sensibility, revealing coincidences between movie morals and political pieties in the civic-minded films of Emilio Fernandez, Matilde Landeta, Allison Anders, and Marcela Fernandez Violante. These filmmakers' rationally and emotionally engaged cinema -- offering representations of indigenous peoples and poor urban women who alternately endorsed "civilizing" projects and voiced resistance to such totalization -- both interrupts and sustains fictions of national coherence in an increasingly transnational world."--Back cover.
