Close readings of D.W. Griffith’s \u003ci\u003eThe Birth of a Nation\u003c\/i\u003e by James Agee and James Baldwin explore these authors’ perspectives on the American mythologies which ground Griffith’s film. The intersectionality of Bordwell’s theories on Classical Hollywood Narrative \u003ci\u003eversus\u003c\/i\u003e Art Cinema and Richard Dyer’s seminal work on whiteness forms the theoretical base for the book. Featured films are those which have been undervalued or banned due to their hybrid natures with respect to Hollywood and Art Cinema techniques, such as Samuel Fuller’s \u003ci\u003eWhite Dog\u003c\/i\u003e and Jean Renoir’s \u003ci\u003eThe Southerner\u003c\/i\u003e. The book offers comparative analyses of American studio-based directors as well as European and European \u003ci\u003eémigrés\u003c\/i\u003e directors. It appeals to scholars of Film Theory, African American and Whiteness Studies. It provides insight for readers concerned about the re-emergence of white supremacist tensions in contemporary America.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-06-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319767765\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-76777-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 220\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47696598466700,"sku":"9783319767765","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319767765_6665d1a2-6267-4f87-a05e-e9f13bcf24f9.jpg?v=1776777697","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319767765","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
