Description





Mixing political and film analysis with exclusive interviews with Hollywood movers and shakers, Ben Dickenson dissects the social context of the last twenty-five years, from Reagan's Presidency to George W. Bush. He uncovers significant political realignments in the movie industry, in its aesthetic values and in the make-up of Hollywood talent and traces how successive presidents and globalization have opened the way for the anti-globalization movement in Hollywood, which in turn has led to changes in film output. The book brings the story of Hollywood radicalism up to and through the 2004 Presidential election.

Editorial Reviews
Review

"Addresses one of the central concerns of media studies: how much latitude do creative people have to influence the political content of films in the corporate and commercial environment of Holloywood. Dickenson has done the hard work of exploring this issue in detail, and the result is a terrific book, full of insight and intelligence."--Robert W. McChesney author, The Problem of th eMedia, and Professor at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
"Most Hollywood performers with progressive politics are anti-war or anti-globalization. Here's a book that explains how the industry we're in really works and how some of us try to get a human message through the system. Without question an enjoyable and stimulating read." --Ed Asner
