Recenzii
There have been many confident critical assertions about the politics of the vigilante thriller. Cary Edwards's thoughtful and insightful book asks us to look again, providing a thorough examination of the genre's inheritances, its social and political contexts, and the ways it asks us to identify (or not) with its protagonists. Highly recommended reading for anyone with an interest in this controversial genre, and its wider relationships with American myth, politics and society.
The Vigilante Thriller, using theory, cultural touchstones, and key movies of the 1970s, is a timely examination of how political, social, and cultural conflicts reflect ideological shifts at the heart of American society, fifty years ago and today.
