Coming Soon: Film Nation: Hollywood Looks at U.S. History Revised Edition By Robert Burgoyne

In the revised and expanded edition of Film Nation, Robert Burgoyne analyses films that give shape to the counternarrative that has emerged since 9/11-one that challenges the traditional myths of the American nation-state. The films analysed here, Burgoyne argues, reveal the hidden underlayers of nation, the conflicts of dramatically different peoples and competing concepts of collective destiny.
