Around the world, Westerns exemplify colonial cinema, driven by the exploration of racial and gender hierarchies and the progress and violence shaped by imperialism.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTransnationalism and Imperialism: Endurance of the Global Western Film\u003c\/i\u003e traces the Western from the silent era to present day as the genre has circulated the world. Contributors examine the reception and production of American Westerns outside the US alongside the transnational aspects of American productions, and they consider the work of minority directors who use the genre to interrogate a visual history of oppression. By viewing Western films through a transnational lens and focusing on the reinterpretations, appropriations, and parallel developments of the genre outside the US, editors Hervé Mayer and David Roche contribute to a growing body of literature that debunks the pervasive correlation between the genre and American identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for media studies and political science, \u003ci\u003eTransnationalism and Imperialism\u003c\/i\u003e reveals that Western films are more than cowboys; they are a critical intersection where issues of power and coloniality are negotiated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Hervé Mayer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43573257207990,"sku":"9780253060754","price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780253060754_e9aa039d-518d-4e95-9b0c-4dee386bcfd7.jpg?v=1726140352","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/transnationalism-and-imperialism-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
