He traces many of the ways in which Hollywood has constructed otherness, and discusses the extent to which those images have persisted and conditioned today's understanding. Hollywood was from the beginning teeming with people who had experienced cultural displacement.  Coaxing the finest talents from around the world and needing to produce films with an almost universal appeal, Hollywood confounded American insularity while simultaneously presenting a vision of 'America' to the world. The book examines a range of genres from the perspective of otherness, including the Western, film noir, and zombie movies. Films discussed include Birth of a Nation, The New World, The Searchers, King Kong, Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner, Jaws, and Dead Man.  Erudite and highly informed, this is a sweeping survey of how the American film industry has portrayed the foreign and the exotic. 606 $aExoticism in motion pictures 606 $aMinorities in motion pictures 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aOutsiders in motion pictures 606 $2Film theory & criticism 615 0$aExoticism in motion pictures. 615 0$aMinorities in motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory 615 0$aOutsiders in motion pictures. 676 $a791.430973 700 $aRichardson$b Michael$f1953-$0870297 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785392803321 996 $aOtherness in Hollywood cinema$93702929 997 $aUNINA
