Heroes, Lovers, and Others
The Story of Latinos in Hollywood Heroes, Lovers, and Others tells the fascinating history of Latinos in film, from the birth of the movies to the present. The book features such Latino legends as Dolores del Rio, Rita Hayworth, Ramon Navarro, Desi Arnaz, Anthony Quinn, Raquel Welch, Salma Hayek, and Antonio Banderas. Clara E. RodrÃguez shows how the careers of these stars were shaped by the temper of the times in which they lived and how they managed their own sense of personal and screen identities. The sparkling parade of Latino film stars presented against the backdrop of American social and cultural history changes the way we think of race and ethnicity in Hollywood and challenges us to reexamine conventional ways of viewing our past. Not least of all, Heroes, Lovers, and Others | |
