Book Presentation:
Exploring the much neglected area of Latin American exploitation cinema, this anthology challenges established continental and national histories and canons which often exclude exploitation cinema due to its perceived ‘low’ cultural status. It argues that Latin American exploitation cinema makes an important aesthetic and social contribution to the larger body of Latin American cinema – often competing with Hollywood and more mainstream national cinemas in terms of popularity.
About the authors:
Victoria Ruétalo is Associate Professor of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies at the University of Alberta. Dolores Mary Tierney is Lecturer in Film Studies at the University of Sussex.
Press Reviews:
"Joining recent scholarly work on exploitation film in general, this study is the first to critique Latin American film in such detail. It will be useful to students interested in film studies and also, perhaps, in cultural and Hispanic studies. Summing Up: Recommended." --Choice
