The Hispanic Image in Hollywood: A Postcolonial Approach

Barrueto wisely takes a post-colonial approach to such diverse topics as the hiring of Latino actors in the early days of film making, the growth of the subgenre of American-made Latino diversity films with and without subtitles, and the growing acceptance of Spanish-language foreign films. He also examines the film phenomena of hotel maids in Manhattan, Latin-American geography at the movies, cinematic humor and difference, and competition v. integration.
