{"product_id":"borderland-films-dominique-brzsgent-heald-9780803276734","title":"Borderland Films: American Cinema, Mexico, and Canada During the Progressive Era","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe concept of North American borderlands in the cultural imagination fluctuated greatly during the Progressive Era as it was affected by similarly changing concepts of identity and geopolitical issues influenced by the Mexican Revolution and the First World War. Such shifts became especially evident in films set along the Mexican and Canadian borders as filmmakers explored how these changes simultaneously represented and influenced views of society at large.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBorderland Films\u003c\/i\u003e examines the intersection of North American borderlands and culture as portrayed through early twentieth-century cinema. Drawing on hundreds of films, Dominique Brégent-Heald investigates the significance of national borders; the ever-changing concepts of race, gender, and enforced boundaries; the racialized ideas of criminality that painted the borderlands as unsafe and in need of control; and the wars that showed how international conflict significantly influenced the United States' relations with its immediate neighbors. \u003ci\u003eBorderland Films\u003c\/i\u003e provides a fresh perspective on American cinematic, cultural, and political history and on how cinema contributed to the establishment of societal narratives in the early twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominique Brégent-Heald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803276737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803276734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.13d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2016","brand":"Dominique Brégent-Heald","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065136623871,"sku":"9780803276734","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eadecce3-9446-4d7f-ac6e-c1457e895f45.jpg?v=1768673236","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/borderland-films-dominique-brzsgent-heald-9780803276734","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
