Contributors situate Italian-American cinema and media within the contemporary and intersectional debates about ethnic identity, including race, class, gender, and sexuality studies. This book links past scholarship to theoretical underpinnings with new hermeneutical approaches in television and film to establish new interpretations concerning Italian Americans on screen. Scholars of film studies, media studies, cultural studies, and sociology will find this book particularly useful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRyan Calabretta-Sajder \u0026amp; Alan Gravano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I: What is Italian-American Cinema?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003eWhat is Italian about Sofia Coppola?
