This essential cultural history delves on the dialect tradition versus modernity that was in place during those years and also comprises an examination of the political economy of film production as well as the different laws, including that implementing censorship that regulated this cultural industry. It also pays particular attention to two historical film genres: the historical film genre per se and the \u003ci\u003egauchesque\u003c\/i\u003e, a genre based on outlaw gauchos that was crucial for nation-building in the nineteenth century. This volume investigates the way Argentine cinema positioned itself when facing the competition of glossy American films and resorted to the historical and \u003ci\u003egauchesque\u003c\/i\u003e to bridge the stark divisions between the Argentine left and right in the late 1960s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReviews '\u003ci\u003eArgentine Cinema and National Identity\u003c\/i\u003e is an extensively researched and well-written book that reconstructs a key period in Argentine history through the lens of a corpus of films that is largely underexplored and overlooked.'\u003cbr\u003eJordana Blejmar, University of Liverpool\u003cbr\u003e'Carolina Rocha succeeds in offering fresh insights into cinematic representations of competing visions of Argentine collective identities during a decade characterized by political upheavals that culminated in the brutal dictatorship of 1976.
