Text of Note

Authors Quart (emeritus, cinema studies, College of Staten Island) and Auster (communication and media studies, Fordham U. Lincoln Center) provide an updated and expanded fourth edition of their analyses of how cinema mirrors the mood and values of American society during a particular decade. The most prominent change in this edition is the inclusion of a chapter on the first decade of the 21st century, a volatile time that witnessed the 9/11 terror attacks, Hurricane Katrina, economic collapse, multiple wars, and the election of Barack Obama, the country's first black American president--and a time that generated films reflecting that volatility. The book is intended for students, teachers, and general readers. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
