Description
This is the first collection of more than 1,800 films dealing with Hispanic topics, themes, and characters arranged chronologically from 1898 to 1935, with indepth annotations, cross-references and four separate indexes. A study of Hollywood's treatment of Hispanics worldwide. (those living in South, Central, and North America, the Philippines and Spain.) Richard has organized the work for those interested in assessing the effects that motion pictures have had on the viewing public in establishing and perpetuating accepted stereotypes. The role of censorship, the Production Code Administration, the Motion Picture Society for the Americas, the Latin American market, and Hollywood's version of Hispanic history are fully covered. Each entry includes a brief scenario which details the film's Hispanic connection.

Reviews:
-A survey of 1,814 films dealing with Hispanic topics, themes, and characters, arranged chronologically from 1898 to 1935. Almost all of the entries include a brief scenario which details the film's Hispanic connection (those of special significance are described in some detail), followed by additional research material. Unless otherwise noted, the films were produced in Hollywood, and thus present Hollywood's treatment of Hispanics worldwide (i.e. South, Central, and North America, the Philippines, and Spain. Two further volumes are projected. —Reference & Research Book News
-This is a highly readable and important book that should be a welcome addition to all academic and large public libraries. —ARBA
-It is a valuable tool for researchers in many areas in that it is extensively cross-referenced through four indexes: title, performers, locations, and an excellent subject index that ranges from banana republic and Latin lover to Zorro. —Revista Interamericana De Bibliografia
