Cinematic geographies and multicultural spectatorship in America
A study of films set in four iconic American landscapes, Indian Country, the South, the inner city and the suburbs, reveals the way that popular film participates in a nationwide discussion about the role of multiculturalism in the post civil rights era. Cinematic sensations of familiarity and foreignness construct a virtual cultural map of America for the film spectator.
