Book Synopsis


Trade Review
This book's solidly interdisciplinary framing sustains richly detailed research and analysis. It will speak to broad audiences across film, media, and cultural studies, as well as gender and women's studies and critical race theory. Palis's analysis takes the most subtle and incisive type of approach to questions of both the canon and authorship. Her argument bypasses more traditional, additive or inclusive canon 'revision' in favor of a radical reshaping, reframing, and re-contextualizing of the canonical history of U.S. cinema since the 'New Hollywood. * Sharon Willis, Professor of Art History and Visual and Cultural Studies, University of Rochester *
