Le cinéma chicano aujourd’hui
View through CrossRef
The Chicano cinema, whether produced by the Independents or by the Hollywood major companies, by Mexican-American or Anglo directors, has undergone significant changes in the past decade. This article contends that the more outspoken and explicitly « ethnic » forms and contents of the latest releases, because they basically rely on postmodern parody, may be less representative of Chicano life and culture than both the early militant films and the « assimilationist » output of the mid-eighties.
