Synopsis:This collection of essays encourages readers from diverse disciplines to reconsider their conception of ethnicity, particularly as it relates to American film. Conceiving of it as both a theoretical construct and a methodological process, the essays demonstrate some of the many ways ethnic analysis offers entrances into texts, connections to other belief systems, relationships to historical periods and events, categories of classification, interactions with different modes of analysis and models for exploring aesthetic and ideological issues. The focus is on American cinema.
