From silent movies like The Greaser?s Revenge (1914) and The Girl and the Greaser (1913) with villainous title characters, to John Steinbeck's portrayals of Latinos as lazy, drunken, and shiftless in his 1935 novel Tortilla Flat, to the image of violent, criminal, drug-using gang members of East LA, negative stereotypes of Latinos/as have been plentiful in American popular culture far before Latinos/as became the most populous minority group in the U.S. In Greasers and Gringos, Steven W. Bender examines and surveys these stereotypes and their evolution, paying close attention to the role of mass media in their perpetuation. Focusing on the intersection between stereotypes and the law, Bender reveals how these negative images have contributed significantly to the often unfair treatment of Latino/as under American law by the American legal system. He looks at the way demeaning constructions of Latinos/as influence their legal treatment by police, prosecutors, juries, teachers, voters, and vigilantes. He also shows how, by internalizing negative social images, Latinos/as and other subordinated groups view themselves and each other as inferior. Although fighting against cultural stereotypes can be a daunting task, Bender reminds us that, while hard to break, they do not have to be permanent. Greasers and Gringos begins the charge of debunking existing stereotypes and implores all Americans to re-imagine Latinos/as as legal and social equals. 410 0$aCritical America. 606 $aHispanic Americans$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States 606 $aHispanic Americans$xSocial conditions 606 $aHispanic Americans and mass media$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aHispanic Americans and mass media 676 $a342.73/0873 700 $aBender$b Steven$01030696 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449726303321 996 $aGreasers and gringos$92488598 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03540oam 2200721I 450 001 9910458988903321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-136-83735-3 010 $a1-283-04107-3 010 $a9786613041074 010 $a0-203-83258-2 024 7 $a10.4324/9780203832585 035 $a(CKB)2560000000061621 035 $a(EBL)668388 035 $a(OCoLC)707068728 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000468510 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12212538 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000468510 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10506398 035 $a(PQKB)10170133 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC668388 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL668388 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10452327 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL304107 035 $a(OCoLC)707078738 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000061621 100 $a20180706d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aDistributing silent film serials $elocal practices, changing forms, cultural transformation /$fRudmer Canjels 210 1$aNew York :$cRoutledge,$d2011. 215 $a1 online resource (284 p.) 225 1 $aRoutledge advances in film studies ;$v7 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-138-65365-9 311 $a0-415-87714-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aIntroduction -- Film seriality and its serial uses : transition and beyond. seriality unbound -- Monopolizing episodic adventures -- Localizing serials, translating spectacle and daily life.

Specifically, he demonstrates that the serial film form goes far beyond the well-known American two-reel serial-the cliffhanger. Throughout the book, Canjels focuses on the biggest producers of serials, America, France, and Germany, while imported serials, such as those in the Netherlands, are also examined.
