• Sommario/riassunto: This book explores the transformation of Latin American cinema from the 1930s to the present, focusing on the role of film in constructing national and collective identities in countries like Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Peru. It examines how cinema served as a medium for state-sponsored identity narratives and how these narratives began to fracture in the 1980s and 1990s due to neoliberal economic policies and internal ethnic, social, and cultural fragmentation. The text delves into the emergence of new cinematic forms that give voice to regional and peripheral identities, highlighting the complex interplay between globalization and local identity politics. The book is intended for scholars and students of film studies, Latin American culture, and social sciences.
