Zusammenfassung:Containing over 200 recommended films, this resource is ideal for students, teachers, and other viewers who are interested in using films to enhance their knowledge of American history. Along with traditional historical categories, such as the two World Wars, the Civil War, and the Great Depression, the book emphasizes immigrant, multicultural, and women-centered films to portray the fullness of the American experience. It also analyzes representations of people and events across different films for a variety of viewpoints, and considers how films reconfigure a past era through the issues of the day in which they were produced. In this study of US social history through the cinematic lens of some 200 films, Tracey (film studies and creative writing, U. of Northern Iowa) views themes from antebellum slavery (e.g., in Amistad, 1997) to contemporary political cynicism as expressed in Wag the Dog (1997). Includes recommended further viewing as well as further reading, and lists of multicultural films and women-centered films.
