It argues that American films of the 1920s posited alternative notions of whiteness and the West to that of Britain, which stood for democracy and social mobility even at a time of virulent racism.The book examines the impact that the American cinema has on Indian filmmakers of the period, who were integrating its conventions with indigenous artistic traditions to articulate an Indian modernity. It considers the way American films in the 1920s presented an orientalist fantasy of Asia, which occluded the harsh realities of anti-Asian sentiment and legislation in the period as well as the exciting engagement of anti-imperial activists who sought to use the United States as the base of a transnational network. The book goes on to analyse the American 'empire films' of the 1930s, which adapted British narratives of empire to represent the United States as a new global paradigm.Presenting close readings of films, literature and art from the era, the book engages cinema studies with theories of post-colonialism and transnationalism, and provides a novel approach to the study of Indian cinema"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000910111 650_0 $$aMotion pictures$$zIndia$$xForeign influences. 000910111 650_0 $$aMotion picture industry$$zIndia$$xHistory. 000910111 650_0 $$aMotion pictures$$zUnited States$$xInfluence. 000910111 650_0 $$aMotion pictures$$zGreat Britain$$xInfluence. 000910111 650_0 $$aMotion pictures, Indic. 000910111 650_0 $$aMotion pictures and transnationalism. 000910111 830_0 $$aRoutledge studies in South Asian history ;$$v14. 000910111 852__ $$bebk 000910111 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1170338$$zOnline Access 000910111 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:910111$$pGLOBAL_SET 000910111 980__ $$aEBOOK 000910111 980__ $$aBIB 000910111 982__ $$aEbook 000910111 983__ $$aOnline
