{"product_id":"latino-images-in-film-charles-ramrez-berg-9780292709072","title":"Latino Images in Film: Stereotypes, Subversion, and Resistance","description":"\u003cp\u003e The bandido, the harlot, the male buffoon, the female clown, the Latin lover, and the dark lady--these have been the defining, and demeaning, images of Latinos in U.S. cinema for more than a century. In this book, Charles Ramírez Berg develops an innovative theory of stereotyping that accounts for the persistence of such images in U.S. popular culture. He also explores how Latino actors and filmmakers have actively subverted and resisted such stereotyping. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the first part of the book, Berg sets forth his theory of stereotyping, defines the classic stereotypes, and investigates how actors such as Raúl Julia, Rosie Pérez, José Ferrer, Lupe Vélez, and Gilbert Roland have subverted stereotypical roles. In the second part, he analyzes Hollywood's portrayal of Latinos in three genres: social problem films, John Ford westerns, and science fiction films. In the concluding section, Berg looks at Latino self-representation and anti-stereotyping in Mexican American border documentaries and in the feature films of Robert Rodríguez. He also presents an exclusive interview in which Rodríguez talks about his entire career, from \u003ci\u003eBedhead\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eSpy Kids, \u003c\/i\u003e and comments on the role of a Latino filmmaker in Hollywood and how he tries to subvert the system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Ramírez Berg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292709072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292709072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.08w x 0.85d","brand":"Charles Ramírez Berg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946387210495,"sku":"9780292709072","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_79a8e3d5-5553-4817-bff9-a8986410b93a.jpg?v=1681512856","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/latino-images-in-film-charles-ramrez-berg-9780292709072","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
