Opis

National Identity in 21st-Century Cuban Cinema tours early 21st-century Cuban cinema through four key figures-the monster, the child, the historic icon, and the recluse-in order to offer a new perspective on the relationship between the Revolution, culture, and national identity in contemporary Cuba.
