Deterritorializing the new German cinema

"This book takes the story of the New German Cinema beyond its strictly German context to show its relation to the international constellations of the Cold War and postcolonial politics. After a reevaluation of the political and aesthetic atmosphere of the 1950s and 1960s. John E. Davidson looks at the ways in which conceptions of "the German" are deployed in important works through the two generations that followed."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
