Film and Colonialism in the Sixties The Anti-Colonialist Turn in the US, Britain, and France The Routledge Global 1960s and 1970s Series
Auteur : Cowans Jon
Relations between Western nations and their colonial subjects changed dramatically in the second half of the twentieth century. As nearly all of the West?s colonies gained their independence by 1975, attitudes toward colonialism in the West also changed, and terms such as empire and colonialism, once used with pride, became strongly negative. While colonialism has become discredited, precisely when or how that happened remains unclear. This book explores changing Western attitudes toward colonialism and decolonization by analyzing American, British, and French popular cinema and its reception from 1960 to 1973.
