Revolution and Rebellion in Mexican Film examines Mexican films of political conflict from the early studio Revolutionary films of the 1930-50s up to the campaigning Zapatista films of the 2000s. Revolution and Rebellion in Mexican Film Book Review: This volume provides a much-needed contribution to the field. Though several book-length studies have been published in Spanish, French, German, and Greek, to date no analogue exists in English. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Ripstein has successfully maintained a prolific output unmatched by any director in the region. Ripstein’s films, often scripted by his long-time collaborator, Paz Alicia Garciadiego, represent an unprecedented achievement in Mexican and Latin American film. The eleven essays included come from scholars whose work stands at the intersection of the fields of Latin American and Mexican Film Studies, Gender and Queer Studies, Cultural Studies, History and Literary studies.

This book gathers eleven scholarly contributions dedicated to the work of Mexican director Arturo Ripstein. The Films of Arturo Ripstein Book Review:
