His widespread popularity, however, was not limited to the United States: he was beloved among moviegoers in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe. In John Wayne?s World, Russell Meeuf considers the actor?s global popularity and makes the case that Wayne?s depictions of masculinity in his most popular films of the 1950s reflected the turbulent social disruptions of global capitalism and modernization taking place in that decade. John Wayne?s World places Wayne at the center of gender- and nation-based ideologies, opening a dialogue between film history, gender studies, political and economic history, and popular culture. Moving chronologically, Meeuf provides new readings of Fort Apache, Red River, Hondo, The Searchers, Rio Bravo, and The Alamo and connects Wayne?s characters with a modern, transnational masculinity being reimagined after World War II. Considering Wayne?s international productions, such as Legend of the Lost and The Barbarian and the Geisha, Meeuf shows how they resonated with U.S. ideological positions about Africa and Asia. Meeuf concludes that, in his later films, Wayne?s star text shifted to one of grandfatherly nostalgia for the past, as his earlier brand of heroic masculinity became incompatible with the changing world of the 1960s and 1970s. The first academic book-length study of John Wayne in more than twenty years, John Wayne?s World reveals a frequently overlooked history behind one of Hollywood?s most iconic stars. 606 $aMotion picture industry$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMasculinity in motion pictures 606 $aMotion pictures and globalization 606 $aNineteen fifties 615 0$aMotion picture industry$xHistory 615 0$aMasculinity in motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion pictures and globalization. 615 0$aNineteen fifties. 676 $a791.4302/8092 700 $aMeeuf$b Russell$f1981-$01656786 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826149403321 996 $aJohn Wayne's world$94009865 997 $aUNINA
