Gordon Murray, a unique collection of horror films from Mexico began to appear on American late-night television and drive-in screens in the 1960s. Ranging from monster movies clearly owing to the heyday of Universal Studios to the lucha libre horror films featuring El Santo and the \"Wrestling Women,\" these low-budget \"Mexploitation\" films offer plenty of campy fun and still inspire cult devotion, yet they also reward close study in surprising ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This work places Mexploitation films in their historical and cultural context and provides close textual readings of a representative sample, showing how they can be seen as important documents in the cultural debate over Mexico's past, present and future. Stills accompany the text, and a selected filmography and bibliography complete the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Doyle Greene\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786422017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786422012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.04w x 0.47d","brand":"Doyle Greene","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926034022655,"sku":"9780786422012","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c0e6be82-9246-4512-a19b-051c4b847a6f.jpg?v=1681080812","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mexploitation-cinema-doyle-greene-9780786422012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
