The wraps are in near fine condition. 7 x 4 ½, 141 pages, 4 ounces XX [From the back cover] In her follow-up to The Migration of Musical Film, Desirée Garcia discards the 'boom and bust' narrative stubbornly bonded to the Hollywood musical?along with its link to 'mindless' escapism. Through attentive, close readings, The Movie Musical unearths ways that musicals accommodate changing times and audiences, acknowledging their insights about the cultures and audiences in which they work?and actually help construct. A welcome addition to film musical and genre scholarship (Caryl Flinn, author of Brass Diva and The Sound of Music). XX S Wonderful! S Marvelous! How can such a diverse genre be covered so well in so short a book? Desirée Garcia's The Movie Musical adeptly surveys its long history and recurring conventions while offering a global perspective that enables her to discuss the genre in original and innovative ways (Steven Cohan, author of lncongruous Entertainment, Hollywood by Hollywood, and Hollywood Musicals Film Reader. XX Putting Asian and European musicals into conversation with Hollywood classics like Singin' in the Rain and La La Land, this study demonstrates the flexibility and durability of the genre. It explores how the movie musical mediates between nostalgia and technical innovation, while foregrounding the experiences of women, immigrants, and people of color. DESIRÉE J. GARCIA is an associate professor in the Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies Program and an affiliate in the Film and Media Studies Department at Dartmouth College. Her many publications include the book The Migration of Musical Film: From Ethnic Margins to American Mainstream (Rutgers University Press). She also starred in La La Land and director Damien Chazelle's first musical, Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Movie musicals are among the most quintessentially American art forms, often celebrating mobility, self-expression, and the pursuit of ones dreams. But like America itself, the Hollywood musical draws from many distinct ethnic traditions. In this illuminating new study, Desiree J. Garcia examines the lesser-known folk musicals from early African American, Yiddish, and Mexican filmmakers, revealing how these were essential ingredients in the melting pot of the Hollywood musical.The Migration of Musical Film shows how the folk musical was rooted in the challenges faced by immigrants and migrants who had to adapt to new environments, balancing American individualism with family values and cultural traditions. Uncovering fresh material from film industry archives, Garcia considers how folk musicals were initially marginal productions, designed to appeal to specific minority audiences, and yet introduced themes that were gradually assimilated into the Hollywood mainstream.No other book offers a comparative historical study of the folk musical, from the first sound films in the 1920s to the genres resurgence in the 1970s and 1980s. Using an illustrative rather than comprehensive approach, Garcia focuses on significant moments in the sub-genre and rarely studied films such as Alla en el Rancho Grande along with familiar favorites that drew inspiration from earlier folk musicalseverything from The Wizard of Oz to Zoot Suit. If you think of movie musicals simply as escapist mainstream entertainment, The Migration of Musical Film is sure to leave you singing a different tune.
