Latin American History Goes to the Movies: Understanding Latin America's Past through Film
Stewart Brewer
Latin American History Goes to the Movies combines the study of the rich history of Latin America with the medium of feature film and documentary history. Author Stewart Brewer provides students the opportunity to participate in a visual historical encounter of Latin America, from pre-Columbian times through the present. Each chapter addresses major themes, regions, and events in Latin American history, coupled with primary sources and filmographies, to offer an accessible, yet scholarly approach to the field. Through films such as Amistad, The Three Amigos, Frida, and Che, Brewer shows how history is retold, and what that retelling means for public memory.
From Scarface to Selena, and from the slave trades to countless revolutions, Latin American History Goes to the Movies sets the record straight between real history and Hollywood culture, and gives students a solid foundation in utilizing film as a vehicle for learning and understanding historical episodes.
