Combining media theory and film history, this course considers the film industry s representation of Latines from the silent era to the present day. To begin, we examine mainstream images created by white Hollywood filmmakers during the twentieth century; the latter part of the course turns attention to self-representations in more recent cinema created by Latine cultural producers.
