Hidden Chicano Cinema

Film Dramas in the Borderlands

Rutgers University Press

Meléndez examines such films as Adventures in Kit Carson Land, The Rattlesnake, and Red Sky at Morning, among others, that have both educated and misinformed us about a state in our own midst that remains a “distant locale” to most white Americans.
