Screening Neoliberalism

"Of the recent spate of books about Mexican cinema, Screening Neoliberalism is the finest. [...] Essential."
--Choice

"One of the most significant contributions of Screening Neoliberalism is the intellectually rigorous, theoretically rich survey of both iconic and little known commercial feature-length narrative films made in Mexico between 1988 and 2012. It examines the history, institutions, contexts, practices, and forms that have reshaped Mexican national cinema in the neoliberal moment and does so with verve, passion, and exhaustive critical scrutiny."
--Sergio de la Mora, author of Cinemachismo

"This book sets itself apart from 'traditional Mexican studies' by examining Mexican film as a symbolic space where post-revolutionary Mexican identity has lost its validity. In other words, Screening Neoliberalism sees Mexican cultural production as precisely the arena in which this break with the past first occurred. This proposal can be somewhat risky, but it can also underscore and trigger analytical processes that can revitalize Mexican studies."
--Fernando Fabio Sanchez, author of Artful Assassins
