Cine-Mexicans is about the cinematic representations of Mexicans in US American film. By tracking the history of cinematic representations of Mexicans in the US, Cine-Mexicans also tracks the notable developments in the Chicano/ a experience and comments on the relationship between the USA and Mexico, between US culture and Mexican/Chicano culture, between US Americans and Mexican-Americans (and/or Chicano/as ), and even Mexican nationals and immigrants. This book also doubles as an instructive look at the history of cinematic representations of Mexicans in US/Hollywood movies as an introduction to the development of Chicano/a-themed feature films in which Mexican-Americans ( Chicanos and Chicanas ) sought to make their own films, for their own audiences, as a response to mainstream cinematic representations of Mexicans. Cine-Mexicans is an introductory text that highlights major cultural and political issues affecting Chicano/a communities that are portrayed in cinema/film, so it can be used for classes in: Chicano Cinema,
Mexican-American Cinema,
Mexican Cinema,
Borderlands Cinema,
Ethnicity/Race in Media or even issues in Latino/a,
Latin American, or Hispanic cinema.
