Books by Charles Ramirez Berg

In one of the first systematic studies of style in Mexican filmmaking, a preeminent film scholar explores the creation of a Golden Age cinema that was uniquely Mexican in its themes, styles, and ideology.

A study of el Nuevo Cine (the New Cinema) and its films presenting alienated characters caught in a painful transition period in which old family, gender, and social roles have ceased to function without being replaced by viable new ones.

In this book, Charles Ramirez Berg develops an innovative theory of stereotyping that accounts for the persistence of images of Latinos in U.S. popular culture
